CouchDB and couchbase are two completely different things. Which one are you using? — theMayer, Jan 11 '15 at 06:08

CouchDB stores documents which are represented in json. To add your json string to the document, add an "_id" attribute that has a string as the name of the document. I will call this document "my_json" for this example.

Then use whatever http library you have (I will use the curl utility) to POST the json to the database.

curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"_id": "my_json", "array":[1,2,3], "boolean": true, "null": null,"number": 123, "object": {"a": "b","c": "d", "e": "f"},"string": "Hello World"}' "http://localhost:5984/example"

This will create a doc called "my_json" that is in the "example" database in the server running on localhost port 5984.

You should then get a response from the server that looks something like this:

{"ok":true,"id":"my_json","rev":"1-03c9094bea172b21e23502b82cc6e7ca"}

(Your "rev" number will be different.)

For more information on the http api for CouchDB see the docs or the getting started page.

Thanks for the reply but this wouldn't work for me as my couchdb is inside my Android App and i hve no place to run this command also . — Code_Life, Jan 10 '15 at 07:38
