Djongo is a Django database connector that lets Django projects use MongoDB as a backend without changing the Django ORM. It works as a SQL-to-MongoDB query compiler, translating Django ORM queries into MongoDB query documents.

Use cases

• use mongodb as django database backend
• run django admin on mongodb
• translate django orm queries to mongodb
• build django app with schema-free models
• switch django project between sql and mongodb
• store nested documents with django models

When to choose

• you have an existing django project and want to move to mongodb without rewriting models
• you want to use django admin and contrib modules with mongodb
• you want rapid prototyping with schema-free models in django

When to avoid

• you need a fully supported, actively developed django-mongodb solution - official django mongodb backend may be better
• your project relies on complex sql features not supported by mongodb
• you use a license-incompatible context since djongo is AGPL-3.0
