CouchDB通信有两种方式：
- CouchDB cURL
- CouchDB Fauxton
CouchDB cURL实用程序用于与CouchDB数据库通信。 此工具用于通过使用支持的协议(HTTP，HTTPS，FTP，FTPS，TFTP，DICT，TELNET，LDAP或FILE)将数据从服务器传输到服务器。 该命令设计为在没有用户交互的情况下工作。 cURL提供了一系列有用的技巧，如代理支持，用户身份验证，FTP上传，HTTP发布，SSL(http:)连接，Cookie，文件传输简历等。
cURL实用程序可用于UNIX，Linux，Mac OS X和Windows等操作系统。 它是一个命令行实用工具，可以直接从命令行中访问HTTP协议。
使用cURL实用程序
可以使用cURL实用程序访问任何网站，使用curl命令后跟一个网站地址。
例如：
curl http://www.yiibai.com/
Shell
cURL实用程序选项
cURL实用程序提供了各种选项，可以在cURL实用程序帮助中查看它们。
以下代码显示了cURL帮助的一些部分。
$ curl --help
Shell
执行结果如下 -

CouchDB默认主页
可以通过两种方式访问CouchDB的主页：
- 在浏览器中打开url。
- 通过命令提示符访问url。
通过发送GET请求访问CouchDB的主页：首先确保已经在Linux环境中安装了CouchDB并且正在运行成功，使用以下语法将获取请求发送到CouchDB实例。
在命令行下访问CouchDB的主页如下 -
yiibai@ubuntu:~$ curl http://127.0.0.1:5984
{"couchdb":"Welcome","uuid":"22d9e91e925fecdb5a3698e26a7f6815","version":"1.6.1","vendor":{"name":"Ubuntu","version":"14.04"}}
