A high-performance, maintained fork of the mgo MongoDB driver for the Go programming language.
What is mgo?
globalsign/mgo is a maintained fork of the popular mgo library, which is a MongoDB driver for the Go programming language. It enables Go applications to connect to, query, and manage MongoDB databases with a focus on performance, reliability, and support for modern MongoDB features. The project addresses various bugs and limitations from the original driver while adding enhancements like better connection handling and extended BSON support.
Go developers building applications that require persistent data storage with MongoDB, particularly those needing improved performance, stability, or access to newer MongoDB features not supported in the original mgo driver.
Developers choose this fork for its active maintenance, performance optimizations, and the inclusion of critical fixes and features from community pull requests that may be stalled in the upstream repository. It offers a more reliable and feature-complete driver for production Go applications using MongoDB.
