PouchDB is an open-source JavaScript database inspired by [Apache CouchDB](http://couchdb.apache.org/) that is designed to run well within the browser.



PouchDB was created to help web developers build applications that work as well offline as they do online.



Using PouchDB

-------------



To get started using PouchDB, check out the [web site](https://pouchdb.com) and [API documentation](https://pouchdb.com/api.html).



Getting Help

------------



The PouchDB community is active [in `#pouchdb` on the CouchDB Slack](https://join.slack.com/t/couchdb/shared_invite/zt-fa9zim0j-H04m4o_KcLdWeOxEAcwM8g), in [the Google Groups mailing list](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/pouchdb), and [on StackOverflow](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/pouchdb). Or you can [mastodon @pouchdb](https://fosstodon.org/@pouchdb)!



If you think you've found a bug in PouchDB, please write a reproducible test case and file [a Github issue](https://github.com/pouchdb/pouchdb/issues).



Prerelease builds

----



If you like to live on the bleeding edge, you can build PouchDB from source using these steps:



    git clone https://github.com/pouchdb/pouchdb.git

    cd pouchdb

    npm install



After running these steps, the browser build can be found in `packages/node_modules/pouchdb/dist/pouchdb.js`.



Changelog

----



PouchDB follows [semantic versioning](http://semver.org/). To see a changelog with all PouchDB releases, check out the [Github releases page](https://github.com/pouchdb/pouchdb/releases).



For a concise list of breaking changes, there's the [wiki list of breaking changes](https://github.com/pouchdb/pouchdb/wiki/Breaking-changes).



Keep in mind that PouchDB is auto-migrating, so a database created in 1.0.0 will still work if you open it in 4.0.0+. Any release containing a migration is clearly marked in the release notes.



Contributing

------------



We're always looking for new contributors! If you'd like to try your hand at writing code, writing documentation, designing the website, writing a blog post, or answering [questions on StackOverflow](http://stackoverflow.com/search?tab=newest&q=pouchdb), then we'd love to have your input.



If you have a pull request that you'd like to submit, please read the [contributing guide](https://github.com/pouchdb/pouchdb/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md) for info on style, commit message format, and other (slightly!) nitpicky things like that. PouchDB is heavily tested, so you'll also want to check out the [testing guide](https://github.com/pouchdb/pouchdb/blob/master/TESTING.md).
