var connection = conversation.Connect( accountjson, projectid, databasename );

Create

database.Create( collection, object );

Delete

Deletes a document with the specified Id from the specified collection.

database.Delete( collection, documentid );

Update

database.Update( collection, documentid, object );

List

This method will return a list of all the objects that are currently stored in the specified collection.

var arrlist = database.List( collection );

Get

This method will return a single object instance from the database corresponding to the id specified in documentid.
