MongoDB is
an open-source, document-oriented database program that stores data in
JSON-like documents with dynamic schemas, making the integration of data in
certain types of applications easier and faster. The document model is the most
popular NoSQL database used for high availability, scalability, flexible data
models and horizontal scalability. The software provides enterprise-level
features like sharding, ad-hoc queries, replication and high availability.
MongoDB works on all major operating systems and provides a broad range of
tools to help manage, secure and optimize databases. MongoDB also offers a
multi-cloud platform and cloud service that enable users to manage data across
different environments. It can be used as a primary data store or as part of a
larger application stack. MongoDB provides an intuitive query language,
comprehensive indexing capabilities, enterprise-grade security and flexible
data models. With its support for multiple storage engines such as MMAPV1,
WiredTiger and RocksDB, it can easily scale to handle large datasets.
