C SDK for Cloudant?

Question

When I went through the supported client libraries for Cloudant as offered by IBM Cloud, the available supported libraries are Mobile, Java, Python, Node.js, Swift.

https://console.bluemix.net/docs/services/Cloudant/libraries/supported.html#supported-client-libraries

I wanted to enquire if they offer support for C language because I want to integrate Cloudant on IBM Cloud with my Linux host?

You don’t need to use a client library, Cloudant has an easy to use REST API that you can interact with directly from your programming language of choice. To call the REST API from c you may want to use a generic REST library like libcurl.

Here are some resources for libcurl:

• http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/
• http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/libcurl-tutorial.html
• http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/libcurl-easy.html
• http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/example.html

Here are the cloudant REST API docs:
