c - Does the Couchbase REST API support NON-JSON data (binary data) -

i storing c structures couchbase, doing so can read these structures later , process directly, avoiding steps of 1 )c structure - > json while storing , 2 )json -> c structure while retrieving.

this working when use lcb_get() , lcb_set() need have requirement making hits views using rest model , lcb_make_http_request () call.

so wondering how lcb_make_http_request () handle non-json c structure , hex data , may have nulls in between. still able extract , populate c - structure data http response after calling lcb_make_http_request () ?

as wiredprairie said in comment aren't forced use json , can store c structs, keep in mind byte order , field alignment when doing so.

when server detects data isn't in json format encode using base64 , set meta.type "json" when document comes map function.

and able emit complete document value if you'd value in http stream. in case of simple map function:

function (doc, meta) {   if (meta.type == "base64") {     emit(meta.id);   } } 

you response 1 (i've formatted clarity):

{     "total_rows": 1,     "rows": [         {             "id": "foo",             "key": "foo",             "value": "4kwuagaaaaa="         }     ] } 

it mean must use json parser extract "value" attribute result, decode , same bytestream, have sent set command.
