13. Getting Started with MongoDB and Node.js

You can use several modules to access MongoDB from your Node.js applications. The MongoDB group has adopted the MongoDB Node.js driver as the standard method. This driver provides all the functionality and is very similar to the native commands available in the MongoDB shell client.

This chapter gets you started accessing MongoDB from Node.js applications. You will learn how to install the MongoDB Node.js driver and use it to connect to MongoDB databases. Several sections also cover the process of creating, accessing, and manipulating databases and collections from your Node.js applications.
