MongoDB Compatibility Tables
We include compatibility tables for each version of the driver to guide your decisions on what versions you need to ensure your environment remains fully operational.
We maintain the following tables for each driver:
Read the following sections for explanations of these tables.
MongoDB Compatibility Tables
In the MongoDB Compatibility tables, the columns are labeled with versions of MongoDB server and the rows are labeled with major release versions of the driver.
The check marks (✓) indicate that the driver can access all the features of that specific version of MongoDB server unless those features have been deprecated or removed.
The circled asterisks (⊛) indicate that the driver version works with that specific version of MongoDB server, but may not be able to access all the features.
If you are upgrading your server version, check whether your current driver version is compatible. We recommend using the newest compatible driver when upgrading your server version.
If you are upgrading your driver version, you can use the table to identify which version you need to access all the newest features included in a specific version of the server. Also note that any of the minor or patch versions share the same compatibility as the major version release.
We recommend that you avoid using older versions of the drivers that do not appear on the chart because they are unsupported.
Important
MongoDB ensures compatibility between the MongoDB Server and the drivers for three years after the server version's end of life (EOL) date. To learn more about the MongoDB release and EOL dates, see MongoDB Software Lifecycle Schedules.
Language Compatibility Tables
In the Language Compatibility tables, the columns are labeled with versions of the language (e.g. Node.js, Python, etc.) and the rows are labeled with major release versions of the driver.
The check marks (✓) indicate that the code in the driver is fully compatible with the version of the language.
Component Compatibility Tables
In the Component Compatibility tables, the columns indicate versions of the driver, and the rows indicate the component package names.
The table cells indicate which versions of the component packages are compatible with the driver version specified in that column.
If the table cell value is blank, the component package is incompatible with the version of the driver version specified in that column.
