MongoDB Introduction

Documents, collections and NoSQL.

Next ❯

MongoDB is a NoSQL database that stores data as documents: JSON-like objects with fields and values.

A database holds collections (like tables).
A collection holds documents (like rows), but documents in one collection can have different fields.
Every document has a unique _id.

MongoDB is popular for web apps, real-time analytics and content management, especially with Node.js.
