Futon is a simple interface to do some admin on your db or do a simple 
insert or query.  from your example it does sound like you want to use 
the easiest way to get some initial or test data into your db - in that 
case curl and the command bulk_docs is an easy way to load a set of data 
- just note: with bulk_docs you need to structure your json to look like 
this  {"docs": [{json1},{json2}]}    - look up the wiki page on this.   
after you understand using couch commands from the command line using 
curl - then you could move to calling couchdb REST commands from a 
program using jquery, etc but this is a bit trickier with same origin 
policies, etc.
