Fauxton

Fauxton, formerly Futon, is the name of the Couch Database web client. Like its predecessor, Fauxton is a robust web interface designed to ease interactions with CouchDB., _(*3)

The client

Fauxton-client is a PHP library written for the sole purpose of performing CouchDB operations such as creating databases, creating indexes and writing Mango queries., _(*4)

NoSQL vs SQL

Structured Query Language (SQL) is a popular approach to handling back-end information and follows Atomicity Consistency Isolation and Durability (ACID) conventions. Simply put, SQL databases allow those who use them to store unique data in relational, table structures., _(*5)

NoSQL, on the other hand, presents a different paradigm to handling data interactions: NoSQL standards are a manifestation of Basically Available Soft-state Eventually consistent (BASE) practices. Couch Database is a NoSQL database that follows a document-oriented, key-value pair format that is also convenient for manipulating data., _(*6)
