I feel it can be very useful. How does it differentiate with MongoDB, CouchDB etc?

- sashthebash 15y agoWe use MongoDB in the backend ourselves. But neither MongoDB nor CouchDB provide a nice interface for editors. You cannot ask non-technical content editors to edit JSON manually and they don't want to edit content in a technical phpMyAdmin-like interface (believe me, we tried!). We provide an easy way for an administrator/developer to set up collections for different content types. They can choose between many different basic (strings, integers, ...) and advanced (attachment, image, location) fields and configure how editors can enter the content into the fields (including validations, so that an URL field really contains a valid URL). Developers can then query the content from their mobile applications on different platforms. In the future we will also provide open-source libraries for iOS/Android to make the integration even easier.
- gcao 15y agoGot it. Thank you for the explanation.
- evlapix 15y agoI think the difference is that your clients/end-users don't know how to create/update documents in a database. This makes it easy for them to manage a database of which the developer will query.
