What is a Document Oriented Database? MongoDB - ComputeNepal

Introduction

A document-oriented database is a type of nonrelational database model which facilitates us to store our data in a simple JSON-like format that is relatively easier for the developer to perform operations on the data. Since this model facilitates JSON-like documents for developers it is relatively easier to store and query data from this type of database as the developer feels like working with javascript objects while working with this database.
