## What it is
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
