MongoDB Drivers for Go
Go offers high performance and tremendous memory management features. Because of its efficient concurrency handling , Go is used in large large projects for the cloud such as kubernetes.
Key features
- Official driver: go.mongodb.org/mongo-driver/mongo package.
- Connection handling: The driver manages connections to the MongoDB server which includes connection pool and automatic reconnection.
Example code
Go
package main import ( "context" "fmt" "log" "time" "go.mongodb.org/mongo-driver/mongo" "go.mongodb.org/mongo-driver/mongo/options") func main() { // Set up MongoDB connection options clientOptions := options.Client().ApplyURI("mongodb://localhost:27017") // Connect to MongoDB client, err := mongo.Connect(context.TODO(), clientOptions) if err != nil { log.Fatal("Error connecting to MongoDB:", err) } // Defer closing the connection until the main function completes defer func() { // Disconnect from MongoDB when done if err := client.Disconnect(context.TODO()); err != nil { log.Fatal("Error disconnecting from MongoDB:", err) } }() // Print a message indicating a successful connection to MongoDB fmt.Println("Connected to MongoDB!") } |
Output:
Connected to MongoDB
MongoDB Drivers For Different Languages
MongoDB is a NoSQL database that is widely used for storing and managing both complex and larger data. For good integration between applications and the MongoDB database, it provides drivers that allow the developer to interact with the database using the programming language of their choice. In this article, we will see different drivers of MongoDB which are popularly used.
Programming Languages supported by MongoDB are C, C++, C#, Go, Java, Kotlin, Node.js, PHP, Python, Ruby, Rust, Scala, and Swift. We will understand each one of them more easily along with their code implementation
