About:
Libcouchbase is the official C library for interacting with Couchbase Server and Capella. It provides a high-performance, asynchronous API for data operations, query, and search. This library serves as the foundational connectivity layer for SDKs in other languages like Python, PHP, and Java.
Key Features:
  • Asynchronous I/O for high performance
  • Support for Key-Value, Query (N1QL), and Search
  • Built-in connection pooling and failover
  • Cross-platform compatibility
Use Cases:
  • Building high-throughput data ingestion pipelines in C/C++
  • Developing native applications requiring low-latency database access
  • Creating custom extensions for Couchbase connectivity
Alternatives:
  • hiredis – Lightweight Redis client; does not support Couchbase specific protocols or N1QL.
  • MongoDB C Driver – Alternative NoSQL client, but specific to the MongoDB wire protocol and ecosystem.
