mongojs is a Node.js module that wraps the official MongoDB native driver and emulates the official MongoDB shell API with callback-style methods. It lets developers query and update MongoDB collections using familiar mongo shell syntax directly from JavaScript code.

Use cases

• connect to mongodb from node.js
• query mongodb collections with mongo shell syntax
• find and update documents in mongodb
• connect to mongodb with a connection string and credentials
• iterate over mongodb query results with forEach
• use ObjectId to look up documents by id

When to choose

• you want a thin, easy-to-use MongoDB API in Node.js that mirrors the mongo shell
• you prefer callback-style database access over promise-based drivers
• you are maintaining an existing codebase already built on mongojs

When to avoid

• you need a modern promise/async-await MongoDB driver with active development
• you need support for the latest MongoDB server features and driver versions
• you are starting a new project where the official mongodb driver or an ODM like mongoose would be a better fit
