CouchDB doesn’t have a filter language. If you need to use NoSQL with traditional SQL-like filter arguments, I recommend looking into MongoDB.

In CouchDB, filtering is achieved by writing a pre-baked filter in JavaScript that’s stored in a file and called a view. DreamFactory supports calling these views:

As stated in CouchDB’s official wiki, “Views are the primary tool used for querying and reporting on CouchDB documents.” As such they subsume SQL-like concepts such as “filter.”

Here is a link to their docs on the topic, and here is a guide.
