## What it is
The officially supported Ruby driver for MongoDB, distributed as the 'mongo' gem. It provides connectivity and CRUD operations against MongoDB Atlas and self-hosted MongoDB clusters, supporting Ruby 2.7-3.3 and JRuby 9.3-9.4.

## Use cases
- connect to mongodb from ruby
- use mongodb with ruby on rails
- query a nosql database in ruby
- store documents in mongodb from a ruby app
- jruby mongodb driver
- official mongodb client for ruby

## When to choose
- you need the officially supported and maintained MongoDB client for Ruby
- you want guaranteed compatibility with MongoDB Atlas and self-hosted clusters
- you need signed, verified releases with GPG signatures

## When to avoid
- you use a language other than Ruby or JRuby
- you need an ODM like Mongoid rather than a low-level driver
- you target a non-MongoDB document database like DocumentDB or Cosmos DB without checking compatibility

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: stable
- function: database-driver, database
- domain: databases, backend, web-development
- platform: ruby, jvm
- tags: mongodb, nosql, official-driver, ruby-on-rails, gem
