Using MongoDB

The base premise behind MongoDB that makes it different from other types of structured key/value pair databases is that it's schemaless: you can insert arbitrary documents of unstructured data without concern for what another entry in the database looks like. A document in NoSQL parlance is something already familiar to us: a JavaScript object!

Here's a document:

{
 "first_name": "Sonyl",
 "last_name": "Nagale",
 "role": "author",
 "mood": "accomplished"
}

We can see that it's a basic JavaScript object; more specifically, it's JSON, which means it can also support nested data. Here's an example:

{
 "first_name": "Sonyl",
 "last_name": "Nagale",
 "role": "author",
 "mood": "accomplished",
 "tasks": {
  "write": {
   "status": "incomplete"
  },
  "cook": ...
