Couchbase Lite is an embedded lightweight, document-oriented (NoSQL), syncable database engine.
Couchbase Lite 2.0 has a completely new set of APIs. The implementation is on top of Couchbase Lite Core, which is also a new cross-platform implementation of database CRUD and query features, as well as document versioning.
This repo contains the code for the community editions of the Java-language family of products for Couchbase Lite 2.0. This includs the Java AppServer and Android products. Couchbase Lite 2.0 is a completely new product, utterly divergent from the 1.0 version
Please file any issues for either the Java AppServer or the Android product, here. Be sure to specify which you are using!

This project is a git repository with submodules. To check it out, clone this root repository:
git clone https://github.com/couchbase/couchbase-lite-android-ce-root --recurse-submodules
or
git clone https://github.com/couchbase/couchbase-lite-android-ce-root
git submodule update --init --recursive
There are two important top level directories:
- ce - This contains directories for product-specific code for each of the two products, Java and Android
- common - This contains code that is used by the entire Java language product family
The other important directory, core contains the code for Couchbase Lite Core. Both products depend on a LiteCore library. The Android product builds it as part of a normal build. The Java AppServer product does not but there are tools in this repository that will build it and put it in the right place.
To build a product, navigate to the product home directory (ce/android or ce/java) and follow the detailed insturctions there.
Note: the top level gradle build will build both products, but only if both are correctly configured. At the very least, you will need:
- local.properties files in this and both product directories
- a LiteCore binary in
./common/lite-core/
