Introduction

MongoDB is a prominent NoSQL database system that has gained widespread popularity for its flexible and scalable approach to data management. Unlike traditional relational databases, MongoDB is designed to store and retrieve unstructured or semi-structured data, making it an ideal choice for efficiently handling large volumes of diverse data types.

At its core, MongoDB employs a document-oriented data model, where data is stored in BSON (Binary JSON) documents. These documents are collections of key-value pairs and support nested structures, allowing for the representation of complex data hierarchies. This inherent flexibility makes MongoDB suitable for projects with evolving data schemas and diverse data sources.
