## What it is
The official MongoDB driver for Node.js, maintained by MongoDB Inc. It provides a typed API for connecting to and operating on MongoDB databases from JavaScript and TypeScript applications.

## Use cases
- connect to mongodb from node.js
- query a mongodb database in typescript
- crud operations on mongodb collections
- use mongodb with express backend
- stream documents from a mongodb cursor
- manage mongodb transactions in node

## When to choose
- you need the officially supported MongoDB client for Node.js or TypeScript
- you want up-to-date features, security patches, and MongoDB support
- you need full MongoDB API coverage including transactions, change streams, and gridfs

## When to avoid
- you use an ODM like Mongoose or Prisma and prefer schema-based models over the raw driver
- your project is not on a JavaScript runtime
- you need a community-supported driver for an unsupported language
