MongoDB Node Driver¶
Introduction¶
The official MongoDB Node.js driver allows Node.js applications to connect to MongoDB and work with data. The driver features an asynchronous API which allows you to access method return values through Promises or specify callbacks to access them when communicating with MongoDB.
note
These docs are for version 3.6 of the MongoDB Node.js driver. If you are looking for an older version of the MongoDB Node.js driver docs, see the legacy Node.js driver documentation. For the main MongoDB documentation, see the MongoDB Manual.
