MongoDB is a popular NoSQL database designed to store and manage data flexibly and at scale. Unlike traditional relational databases that use tables and rows, MongoDB stores data as JSON-like documents using a format called BSON (Binary JSON). This document-oriented model makes it easy to handle complex and varied data structures.
Key advantages of MongoDB
- High performance for fast data operations
- Easy scalability to handle growing data and users
- High availability through replication and failover
- Cross-platform support for wide adoption
