Download MongoDB 4.2.1 / 4.0.13 / 3.6.15

MongoDB is a cross-platform, document-oriented database. It is a so-called nosql database, which means that it does not use tables in a relational database, but json-like documents with dynamic schemas, something MongoDB calls ‘bson’. The name MongoDB is derived from the English word ‘humongous’. The database is therefore best for large environments and knows users such as eBay, SourceForge and Coinbase.
