The release further added that Mobile Couchbase for iOS is powered by Apache CouchDB and delivered as an embeddable library with seamless Apple Xcode IDE integration.

Chris Anderson, Couchbase Co-Founder and Chief Architect, Mobile said, "Sync has been an unsolved challenge and users are often turned off by slow applications, even when the slowness is due to network issues, not necessarily code. Now developers can take advantage of CouchDB’s powerful sync capabilities to scale and share data across any mobile device on one of the most successful platforms.”

Another feature of NoSQL database with mobile-to-cloud data synchronization allows develoeprs to automatically maintain bi-directional synchronization between a local data set stored in Mobile Couchbase and a cloud- or datacenter-deployed Couchbase database, whenever network connectivity is available.
