About:

  • Comprehensive authentication mechanisms (SCRAM, X.509, LDAP)
  • Built-in connection pooling and retry logic
Use Cases:
  • Building high-throughput backend services in C
  • Creating database drivers for other programming languages
  • Embedded systems development requiring direct database access
  • Data migration and ETL processes written in C
Alternatives:
  • libmongoc – Legacy name for the mongo-c-driver, now unified under the official MongoDB C Driver project.
