mongodb_ecto
An Ecto adapter for MongoDB, enabling Elixir developers to use Ecto's query interface and schema definitions with MongoDB databases.
What is mongodb_ecto?
Mongo.Ecto is an adapter that allows the Ecto database wrapper and query generator in Elixir to work with MongoDB databases. It translates Ecto's schema definitions, queries, and operations into MongoDB-compatible commands, enabling developers to use Ecto's familiar abstractions while leveraging MongoDB's document-oriented data model. This solves the problem of integrating MongoDB into Elixir applications without having to abandon Ecto's productivity features.
Elixir developers building applications that use MongoDB as their primary database and want to utilize Ecto for data modeling, validation, and querying. It's particularly useful for teams already invested in Ecto who need to incorporate MongoDB's flexibility.
Developers choose Mongo.Ecto because it provides a seamless bridge between Ecto's robust, type-safe ecosystem and MongoDB's schema-less design, reducing boilerplate and maintaining consistency across different database backends. Its comprehensive data type mapping and support for modern MongoDB versions ensure reliability and compatibility.
