PyMongo is the official MongoDB driver for Python, providing a native API for connecting to and interacting with MongoDB databases, including synchronous and asynchronous interfaces. It also includes a BSON serialization implementation and a GridFS package for storing large files.
Use cases
- connect to mongodb from python
- store and query documents in mongodb
- save large files with gridfs in python
- use mongodb asynchronously with asyncio
- serialize python objects to bson
- build a python backend on mongodb atlas
When to choose
- you use MongoDB as your database in a Python application
- you need an officially supported, actively maintained MongoDB driver
- you need GridFS for large file storage or BSON serialization
When to avoid
- you use a SQL database rather than MongoDB
- you prefer an ODM like MongoEngine or Beanie on top of a driver
- you target a non-MongoDB compatible document store without checking compatibility
