MongoDB is an open-source and cross-platform database that uses a document-oriented data model. It is a kind of NoSQL database. Being a NoSQL database, it avoids the relational database’s table-based structure to adapt JSON-like documents that offer dynamic schemas which it calls BSON.
BSON provides a binary representation of JSON-like documents. In general, documents contain sets of key-value pairs and are the basic unit of data in MongoDB. It was turned into one of the most popular NoSQL databases, being used as the back-end for many giant websites comprising eBay.

- There may be a difference between the number of fields, size, and content of various documents.
- It can hold large volumes of structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data.
- It offers agile sprints, quick iteration, and frequent code pushes.
- It allows horizontal scalability by using a technique called sharding.
- It provides ACID properties at the document level.
- It uses internal memory for storing working sets, and that is the reason behind its fast access.
- It provides the facility of a deep query as it supports a powerful dynamic query on documents.
- It supports the common authentication methods like AD, LDAP, and certificates.
