## What it is
mgo is a MongoDB driver for the Go language, providing a rich API for connecting to and working with MongoDB databases. The project is officially unmaintained, with users directed to community forks such as globalsign/mgo.

## Use cases
- connect to MongoDB from Go
- query MongoDB collections in Go
- insert and update documents in MongoDB
- manage MongoDB sessions and replication in Go

## When to choose
- you are maintaining a legacy Go codebase already built on mgo

## When to avoid
- starting a new Go project that needs MongoDB
- you need ongoing support or bug fixes
- you want an actively maintained driver - use the official mongo-go-driver or globalsign/mgo

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: abandoned
- function: database-driver, database
- domain: databases, developer-tools
- platform: go, cross-platform
