MongoDB provides several ways to interact with its data programmatically, including through various APIs and drivers.
These APIs enable developers to interact with MongoDB databases using different programming languages and frameworks and enable CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations, data manipulation, and querying.
Some of the commonly used APIs and drivers for MongoDB are:
MongoDB officially supports drivers for various programming languages, allowing developers to interact with MongoDB databases from their applications.
MongoDB comes with a shell interface called Mongo, which allows developers to interact with MongoDB databases using JavaScript-like syntax. It's useful for performing administrative tasks, querying data, and running JavaScript code against MongoDB databases.
Querying Data: The `find()` method is used to retrieve documents from collections based on query criteria.
Inserting Data: Using the `insertOne()` or `insertMany()` methods to add single and multiple documents into collections.
Updating Data: Using the `updateOne()` or `updateMany()` methods are used to modify existing single and bulk documents into collections.
Deleting Data: Using the `deleteOne()` or `deleteMany()` methods are used to remove single and multiple documents from collections.
Aggregation: Using the aggregation stages pipeline framework to retrieve complex data aggregation and transformation operations.
MongoDB Atlas is the cloud-hosted MongoDB service, that provides a RESTful API for managing MongoDB clusters, databases and collections. The MongoDB Atlas API allows developers to automate administrative tasks, such as cluster provisioning, database configuration, and user management, using HTTP requests. With the MongoDB Atlas API, developers can programmatically create and manage MongoDB deployments, monitor cluster metrics, and perform backup and restore operations.
MongoDB Compass is a graphical user interface (GUI) tool provided by MongoDB for interacting with MongoDB databases. It allows developers to visually explore data, run queries, and perform administrative tasks.
This is the official MongoDB driver for Node.js, provided by MongoDB. It allows developers to interact with MongoDB databases using the Node.js programming language.
MongoDB provides an official Go driver for interacting with MongoDB databases using the Go programming language.
Similarly, MongoDB provides an official Java driver for interacting with MongoDB databases using the Java programming language.
MongoDB also offers an official Ruby driver for interacting with MongoDB databases using Ruby.
MongoDB offers an official Python driver for interacting with MongoDB databases using Python.
MongoDB provides an official C#/.NET driver for interacting with MongoDB databases using the .NET programming languages.
