Couchbase Lite is an embedded lightweight, document-oriented (NoSQL), syncable database engine.
Couchbase Lite 2.x has a completely new set of APIs. The implementation is on top of Couchbase Lite Core, which is also a new cross-platform implementation of database CRUD and query features, as well as document versioning.

use_frameworks!
pod 'CouchbaseLite'
end
target '<your target name>' do
use_frameworks!
pod 'CouchbaseLite-Enterprise'
end
target '<your target name>' do
use_frameworks!
pod 'CouchbaseLite-Swift'
end
target '<your target name>' do
use_frameworks!
pod 'CouchbaseLite-Swift-Enterprise'
end
You can use Carthage to install CouchbaseLite by adding it in your Cartfile:
