How to retrieve json data from .couch file?

[thenewatomist]

Or, is this even possible? You'll have to forgive my novelty with this, but the long story short is I have a .couch file from a volume that ran into an as-yet-unspecified issue. Is there any way to retrieve the contents of the file in JSON? I've opened it in my text editor, and can of course see bits and pieces of my content there, but I assume the file itself is encrypted. I wish I knew how to phrase this better, but any ideas?

The .couch file is not encrypted but it is in a custom format that only CouchDB can read. I suggest just using couchdb to read it. If it's corrupt such that couchdb can't read it then I'm afraid there's not really a good option.
