The Database that Syncs!
PouchDB is an open-source JavaScript database inspired by Apache CouchDB that is designed to run well within the browser.
PouchDB was created to help web developers build applications that work as well offline as they do online.

db.put({
_id: 'dave@gmail.com',
name: 'David',
age: 69
});
db.changes().on('change', function() {
console.log('Ch-Ch-Changes');
});
db.replicate.to('http://example.com/mydb');
Cross Browser
Works in Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari, IE and Node.js
Lightweight
PouchDB is just a script tag and 46KB (gzipped) away in the browser, or $ npm install pouchdb

in Node.
Easy to Learn
Requires some programming knowledge, however PouchDB is a piece of cake to learn.
Open Source
Everything is developed out in the open on GitHub, contributors always welcome!
