MongoDB Getting Started 🍃
MongoDB Database
MongoDB is a NoSQL database. MongoDB stores data in JSON-like documents, which makes the database very flexible and scalable.
✨ Install MongoDB Driver
Python needs a MongoDB driver to access the MongoDB database. We recommend that you use the driver "PyMongo".
Use PIP to install "PyMongo".
Terminal
pip install pymongo
🧪 Test PyMongo
To test if the installation was successful, or if you already have "PyMongo" installed, create a Python page with the following content.
python
import pymongoIf the above code was executed with no errors, "PyMongo" is installed and ready to be used.
💡 Did You Know?
To be able to create a database or insert data you must have a running MongoDB instance.
