Introduction to MongoDB

MongoDB is an open-source document database that provides high performance, high availability, and automatic scaling.

Document Database

A record in MongoDB is a document, which is a data structure composed of field and value pairs. MongoDB documents are similar to JSON objects. The values of fields may include other documents, arrays, and arrays of documents.

The advantages of using documents are:

• Documents (i.e. objects) correspond to native data types in many programming languages.
• Embedded documents and arrays reduce need for expensive joins.
• Dynamic schema supports fluent polymorphism.

Key Features

• High Performance
• Rich Query Language
• High Availability
• Horizontal Scalability
• Support for Multiple Storage Engines
