MongoDB – The No SQL Database

Mongo is a NoSQL database aimed for fairly large data sets, yet something that’s low maintenance and easy to work with. It’s a document-oriented system, with records that look similar to JSON objects with the ability to store and query on nested attributes. Once of its best advantage is the proactive support from the developers of MondoDB the open source project.

The MongoDB supports automatic shading and Map Reduce operations. Queries are written in JavaScript, with an interactive shell available, and bindings for all of the other popular Languages.
