Our MongoDB software for Fantom

Published on 04 May 2022 by Emma Eynon

Programming in Fantom may be a joy, but its lack to software libraries can make it hard and time consuming - but we're here to help!

We've just released re-writes of our popular software libraries that let you easily use MongoDB with Fantom!

MongoDB

MongoDB is a powerful NoSql database which lets you store, query, and retrieve rich objects - known as Documents.

MongoDB is a fantastic database choice for Fantom users who just need to store and persist Plain-Old-Fantom-Objects. MongoDB is simple to set up and storage is based on JSON, allowing for easy serialisation of embedded objects.

Here is a run down of the latest free libraries we've just released.

We have recently re-written all our MongoDB based libraries, making sure they are compatible with all the latest MongoDB versions, and used our experience in the field to make sure they are super optimised for speed!

Data storage in Fantom couldn't get any easier!

BSON (2.0)
