JS Nested Sort Example (with comparator function factory for composing arbitrary nesting levels)

	//some sample data for the example
	var people = [ {firstName: "Bob", lastName: "Barker", age: 100}, {firstName: "John", lastName: "Smith", age: 40}, {firstName: "Sam", lastName: "Adams", age: 42}, {firstName: "John", lastName: "Adams", age: 42}, {firstName: "Bernard", lastName: "Adams", age: 42}, {firstName: "Adam", lastName: "Adams", age: 42} ];

	//generalized comparator function factory enabling composition with nested comparators
	var comparatorComposer = function(compareBy, nextComparator) {
	var comparator = function(a, b) {
	return ((a[compareBy] < b[compareBy]) ? -1 : ((a[compareBy] > b[compareBy]) ? 1 : (nextComparator ? nextComparator(a, b) : 0)));
	};
	return comparator;
	};

Simple example of a Node.js proxy to CouchDB GET requests

	var http = require('http'),
	request = require('request'), // request module from https://github.com/mikeal/request
	url = require('url');

	http.createServer(function (req, res) {
	var href = url.parse(req.url,true).href;
	request('http://127.0.0.1:5984' + href).pipe(res);
	}).listen(1337);

	// now try something like http://127.0.0.1:1337/your_db_name/_all_docs/?limit=10
