## What it is
The official MongoDB drivers for the JVM, providing APIs for Java, Kotlin (including coroutines), and Scala to connect to and work with MongoDB. It is actively maintained by MongoDB Inc. and released under the Apache-2.0 license.

## Use cases
- connect to mongodb from a java application
- query and insert documents into mongodb from kotlin
- use mongodb with kotlin coroutines
- build a scala service backed by mongodb
- crud operations against mongodb from jvm apps
- connect a spring boot app to mongodb

## When to choose
- your JVM application needs to talk to MongoDB
- you want an officially supported, actively maintained driver
- you need idiomatic APIs for Java, Kotlin, or Scala

## When to avoid
- you use a non-JVM language
- you need a driver for a different database
- you want an ORM-style abstraction over relational databases

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: stable
- function: database-driver, database
- domain: databases, backend, developer-tools
- platform: jvm
- tags: mongodb, official-driver, sync-driver, coroutines, nosql
