What is MongoDB

What is MongoDB

•  As a definition, MongoDB is an open source database that uses a document-oriented data model and a non-structured query language.

• It is one of the most powerful NoSQL systems and databases around today.

•  Since it is a NoSQL database it does not use the usual rows and columns that we so much associated with the relational database management.

•  It is an architecture that is built on collections and documents. The basic unit of data in this database consists of a set of key-value pairs.

•  MongoDB is a distributed database at its core, so high availability, horizontal scaling, and geographic distribution are built in and easy to use

•  MongoDB is free and open-source, published under the GNU Affero General Public License
