Is there a way of getting a cleaner JSON out of Couchdb? - json

Question

I am wondering if there is a way to get a cleaner JSON with just the docs out of Couchdb instead of getting it under "rows" and then "doc"
This is the default output
{
"total_rows":1,
"offset":0,
"rows":[
{
"id":"7d9fd5824f9029186c1eec1bda005e75",
"key":"7d9fd5824f9029186c1eec1bda005e75",
"value":{
"rev":"1-f99879f67cfd27685f92c884c236a0fd"
},
"doc":{
"_id":"7d9fd5824f9029186c1eec1bda005e75",
"_rev":"1-f99879f67cfd27685f92c884c236a0fd",
"title":"Hello World",
"messeges":"This is the first messege. Helloo there"
}
}
]
}
This is the desired output:
{
"_id":"7d9fd5824f9029186c1eec1bda005e75",
"_rev":"1-f99879f67cfd27685f92c884c236a0fd",
"title":"Hello World",
"messeges":"This is the first messege. Helloo there"
}
Thanks

Answer 1

It would be useful to see your code. I suspect this is the output of the alldocs api? If you know the ID of the document you want you can use the get api which returns the JSON you want. Otherwise you must loop through the "rows" ie
for (x in results.rows) {...}
and then use x.doc to get your JSON.

Thanks all for the help.
I figured out a way doing it in Node js by using a map function attached to there query
in the nano page they listed it as
alice.list().then((body) => {
body.rows.forEach((doc) => {
console.log(doc);
});
});
instead I used it like this
alice.list().then((body) => {
var result = body.rows.map( (x) => {
return x.doc
});
console.log(result);
});
which works for me.
Still new till couchdb and databases in general.
