MongoDB is the next-generation database that is built for rapid and iterative application development. Its flexible data modelthe ability to incorporate both structured or unstructured dataallows developers to build applications faster and more effectively than ever before. Enterprises can dynamically modify schemas without downtime, resulting in less time preparing data for the database, and more time putting data to work. MongoDB documents are more closely aligned to the structure of objects in a programming language. This makes it simpler and faster for developers to model how data in the application will map to data stored in the database, resulting in better agility and rapid development.
