Couch stores data as Json. Its query capabilities are based on json pair names. I'm just trying it out but I believe that, for example, if a User object was a blob, you couldn't issue a query like "fetch user with username = 'foo'". You would have to read all the users into Smalltalk and do a select: Anyway that's my impression of how Couch works.

Does it need to be JSON?
Since CouchDB stores data in json - I guess the answer is very likely yes, since just storing serialized blobs inside CouchDB would loose all querying and indexing available.
I don't understand. What is the difference from the querying and indexing point of view between serializing with JSON or a binary serializer.<http://www.cloud208.com/>
