What are MongoDB drivers?
These are software modules or libraries that help in the interaction between applications and the MongoDB database. These drivers act as a bridge between the applications and the database. With the help of these drivers, developers can easily perform CRUD operations by writing code in any language that is supported by MongoDB drivers.
MongoDB drivers are easy to use and consistent across several languages. You can use MongoDB drivers to create, read, update, and delete documents, as well as to create indexes, run aggregation pipelines, and execute the database commands. MongoDB drivers also handle the communication with the MongoDB server like establishing connections, sending requests, and receiving responses.
To use MongoDB drivers, firstly you need to install them in your application environment and import them in your code. You also need to specify the connection string for your Mongodb deployment, which can be either a self-hosted cloud-based cluster or a cloud-based service like Mongodb Atlas. Then, you can use the driver methods to interact with your MongoDB database and collections in it.
MongoDB Drivers For Different Languages
MongoDB is a NoSQL database that is widely used for storing and managing both complex and larger data. For good integration between applications and the MongoDB database, it provides drivers that allow the developer to interact with the database using the programming language of their choice. In this article, we will see different drivers of MongoDB which are popularly used.
Programming Languages supported by MongoDB are C, C++, C#, Go, Java, Kotlin, Node.js, PHP, Python, Ruby, Rust, Scala, and Swift. We will understand each one of them more easily along with their code implementation
