Does CouchDB actually store the data in JSON format on disk? Or does it use a more specialized format?

Elasticsearch, for example, has a full featured JSON API, but stores documents on disk in Lucerne---not that you'd ever know that if you only perused the API.

I'm not sure about the format, but it's compressed.
