couchCurl is a simple static PHP class that generates curl commands to work with CouchDB databases. It aims for quick and easy access to local CouchDB databases without authentication, and with little PHP processing overhead. It assumes that your PHP installation has exec() enabled and that the user can use curl. It supports most of the API (PUT, POST, GET) and adds a little extra stuff for making VIEWS easier to work with, and a function to help compress or make custom _ids.
myparse is a low-resource database-oriented PHP framework. It aims to be easy for everyone use, update, modify, and extend. The working code base is less than 30 KB, and sites typically use around 400-700 KB of RAM. It is designed to work on shared hosting sites like DreamHost and GoDaddy. It supports full-page file-based caching, sitemap generation, Google Analytics integration, quick MySQL environment switching, and many of the newer MySQLi functions. The template system allows users and developers to define their own 'parsed' variables. Installation software is similar to, if not easier than, WordPress.
Great project! I was looking for something exactly like this, but I am greatly missing support for the 'enum' field type...
