All databases are represented by a host and a port. I think you mean CouchDB offers a HTTP-based API that allows queries to be run without requiring a database-specific library and that because it's HTTP, it can be accessed via a browser.

That was my point exactly. Http API us very cool but very far from being unique to couchdb (see InfluxDB, ClickHouse, Prometheus, etc.)

Haha, yes, exactly. I omitted the most important part - the [HTTP-based API].
