title: View and/or edit a .cblite database from within Windows?
body: <p>I have a <strong>.cblite</strong> (couchbase-lite) database which I would like to view on a <strong>Windows 8.1</strong> machine. I currently see 3 approaches</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>On <a href="https://github.com/couchbaselabs/CouchbaseLiteViewer/releases" rel="nofollow">GitHub</a> there seems to be a tool "CouchbaseLiteViewer" for doing just that under Mac OS,  maybe it can be ported to Windows, but it looks to me like there are quite a few dependencies</li>
  <li><a href="https://github.com/couchbaselabs/couchbase-mobile-portal/" rel="nofollow">Their "Mobile portal" repository</a> seems to also contain the sources to roll my own tool from scratch in Java - same dependency issue</li>
  <li>It might be possible to <strong>install Couchbase Server</strong> and import the .cblite database to access through the admin interface (Futon). I tried this with an older (1.x) Couchbase Server, but could not find how to import</li>
  <li>If I <strong>understood the file format</strong>, I could maybe code something manually for my specific situation, but the file just looks like random/compressed data without any noticeable header </li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>I am a bit lost how to continue here - can anyone <strong>give me some pointers</strong> of how to do this?</p>
