What is MongoDB
MongoDB is a document−based NoSQL database. It stores the information in key−value format, more specifically like a JSON document. We use MongoDB for storing a high volume of data. On a high−level, MongoDB uses terms like Database, Collection, Document, and Field.
Database −
It is equivalent to the RDBMS database which acts as a container for collections.
Collection −
It exists within a database and it is equivalent to the tables in RDBMS.
Document −
It is a equivalent to a row in RDBMS. A document in MongoDB collection is a single record.
Field −
It is an equivalent to a column in RDBMS having a key−value pair. A document could have zero or more fields. To learn more about MongoDB, visit our tutorials by clicking here.
