The JSON data is a response from a web service.I have created a sample html file which can create a pouch Db database.I have created rest web service which gives certain data as response. can any one help me to synchronize these two.

Answer 1

PouchDB has a built in method for synchronizing with CouchDB using one- or two-way replication.

I understand that you want to sync with a datasource, which doesn't have a CouchDB compatible API. Then you'll have to write code to perform the synchronization with your specific JSON API.

Answer 2

There's a library now which makes it possible to import a JSON string (dump) as database into PouchDB.

It's called PouchDB-Load and is written by PouchDB author Nolan Lawson.

So in your case the code can be as simple as:

var db = new PouchDB('my-awesome-db'); db.load('http://example.com/my-dump-file.json').then(function () { // done loading! }).catch(function (err) { // HTTP error or something like that });
