From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
MongoDB (from humongous) is a cross-platform document-oriented database. Classified as a NoSQL database, MongoDB eschews the traditional table-based relational database structure in favor of JSON-like documents with dynamic schemas (MongoDB calls the format BSON), making the integration of data in certain types of applications easier and faster. Released under a combination of the GNU Affero General Public License and the Apache License, MongoDB is free and open-source software.

In in October 2007, MongoDB was developed by the software company MongoDB Inc. as a component of a planned platform as a service product and was not available as a part of open source development. However in 2009, the company shifted to an open source development model, with MongoDB offering commercial support and other services.[1] Since then, MongoDB has been adopted as backend software by a number of major websites and services, including Craigslist, eBay, Foursquare, SourceForge, Viacom, and The New York Times among others. In September 2015, MongoDB was the most popular NoSQL database system.[2]
