When I want to insert a document using CouchDB, I send a request like this one:
POST http://localhost:5984/blogging/
Accept: application/json
Content-Type: application/json
{
"name": "Example",
"value": 5
}
And it Works. But, what if I want to insert two documents at once? I try:
POST http://localhost:5984/blogging/
Accept: application/json
Content-Type: application/json
[
{
"name": "Example 2",
"value": 6
},
{
"name": "Example 3",
"value": 7
}
]
And it answers me:
HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request
Cache-Control: must-revalidate
Connection: close
Content-Length: 66
Content-Type: application/json

"reason": "Document must be a JSON object"
}
Well, first of all, I would suggest you to check this API from the documentation: http://docs.couchdb.org/en/stable/api/database/bulk-api.html#db-bulk-docs
And, apart from that, you aren't sending a valid JSON object. I would change your request in this way:
POST http://localhost:5984/blogging/_bulk_docs
Accept: application/json
Content-Type: application/json
{
"docs": [
{
"name": "Example 2",
"value": 6
},
{
"name": "Example 3",
"value": 7
}
]
}
