With the recent addition of _external support to CouchDB, now it is possible to craft dynamic XML responses (or anything else you can do from a JavaScript function) directly from CouchDB’s Spidermonkey script runner. In this article I’ll show some code that renders a CouchDB view as an Atom feed. Everything’s still very rough, but I’m encouraging people to hack on it and share. There’s a framework (or maybe a whole new way of working) emerging, and I want you to be a part of it.
