MongoDB (from humongous) is a free and open-source cross-platform document-oriented database.
Description
Classified as a NoSQL database, MongoDB avoids the traditional table-based relational database structure in favor of JSON-like documents with dynamic schemas (it calls the format BSON), making the integration of data in certain types of applications easier and faster.
MongoDB is developed by MongoDB Inc., and is published under a combination of the GNU Affero General Public License and the Apache License.
