About:
The Mongo C++ Driver (mongo-cxx-driver) provides an idiomatic C++ interface for interacting with MongoDB databases. It implements the MongoDB Wire Protocol and offers high-level abstractions for data modeling, query operations, and aggregation. This library enables developers to build high-performance applications with robust support for modern C++ standards.
Key Features:
  • Idiomatic C++11/14/17 API design
  • Support for CRUD operations and Aggregation Framework
  • Built-in support for authentication and TLS/SSL
  • Memory management using Smart Pointers
  • Cross-platform compatibility
Use Cases:
  • Building backend services and microservices that require persistent storage
  • High-performance data ingestion pipelines
  • Embedded systems development requiring database connectivity
  • Scientific computing applications storing large datasets
Alternatives:
  • mongo-c-driver – The lower-level C driver; the C++ driver builds on top of it to provide a more modern, object-oriented interface.
  • mongocxx-legacy – The older 2.x series of the driver; the current 3.x+ driver uses a distinct API and ABI.
