## What it is
The officially supported MongoDB driver for Rust, providing a fully async API built on tokio plus an optional sync API for interacting with MongoDB deployments. It uses the bson crate for BSON serialization and is distributed via crates.io under the Apache-2.0 license.

## Use cases
- connect to mongodb from rust
- query a mongodb database in a rust application
- store and retrieve bson documents in rust
- use mongodb with tokio async rust
- crud operations on mongodb from rust
- connect rust app to mongodb atlas

## When to choose
- you are building a Rust application that needs to read or write data in MongoDB or Atlas
- you want an officially supported, actively maintained driver with async and sync APIs
- you need BSON document handling with TLS and mongodb+srv support

## When to avoid
- you use a different language than Rust
- you need a driver for a non-MongoDB database
- you are stuck on driver version 1.x, which is end-of-life

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: stable
- function: database-driver, database, serialization
- domain: databases, backend, developer-tools
- platform: rust, windows, cross-platform
- tags: mongodb, bson, async, tokio, official-driver, nosql, linux, macos
