Hoodie vs Pouchdb: What are the differences?
Developers describe Hoodie as "A fast offline-first architecture for webapps. Super-simple user management & storage. Great for mobile". We want to enable you to build complete web apps in days, without having to worry about backends, databases or servers, all with an open source library that's as simple to use as jQuery. On the other hand, Pouchdb is detailed as "Open-source JavaScript database inspired by Apache CouchDB that's designed to run well within the browser". PouchDB enables applications to store data locally while offline, then synchronize it with CouchDB and compatible servers when the application is back online, keeping the user's data in sync no matter where they next login.
Hoodie and Pouchdb are primarily classified as "Frameworks (Full Stack)" and "Databases" tools respectively.
Some of the features offered by Hoodie are:
- Offline by default: Hoodie stores data locally first and syncs them in the background when possible. Great for mobile applications
- One-line signup/signin/signout/resend password and other account management functions
- Document-based storage with CouchDB: no building database schemas
On the other hand, Pouchdb provides the following key features:
- Cross browser compatibility
- Lightweight
- Easy to learn
Hoodie and Pouchdb are both open source tools. It seems that Pouchdb with 12.1K GitHub stars and 1.21K forks on GitHub has more adoption than Hoodie with 3.51K GitHub stars and 314 GitHub forks.
