The MongoDB Manual¶

Welcome to the MongoDB Manual! MongoDB is an open-source, document-oriented database designed for ease of development and scaling.

The Manual introduces MongoDB and continues to describe the query language, operational considerations and procedures, administration, and application development patterns, among other topics relevant to users and administrators of MongoDB. The Manual also has a thorough reference section of the MongoDB interface and tools.

This manual is under constant development. See the About MongoDB Documentation for more information on the MongoDB Documentation project.
