“MongoDB is written in C++ and returns key value stores in
conjunction with RDBMS systems. Therefore,
Monodb’s are fast and have several functional
features. It essentially manages json-type documents. This gives
great flexibility and data modelling can be handled more naturally
through documents itself. This also means that the regular features
of SQL are retained however with embedded indexes etc,
document-level handling happens making it a faster and easier Data
Base Management System. Its open source license with full support
through 10gen ensures that commercial supported is delivered for
enterprises. The data can thus be nested within intricate
hierarchies and yet remain as easy to query and index as SQL
itself.”
