MongoDB is a broadly used NoSQL document-oriented database management system, especially popular for apps that dealing with huge amounts of data. Using schema-less data models, MongoDB stores data in dynamic and complex data structures, instead of the traditional way, in rows and columns. This flexibility makes MongoDB a perfect tool for both unstructured and semi-structure data.

Offering a variety of features, MongoDB is also an excellent system for robust and scalable web applications. You can scale it horizontally by distributing data across multiple servers using sharding. Besides, by adopting BSON (Binary JSON) format, MongoDB provides easier and more efficient indexing, data retrieval, and data manipulation. Supported by a large and active community of developers, MongoDB is highly available, reliable, and flexible for a wide range of use cases.
