mongoskin is a JavaScript wrapper library around the official node-mongodb-native driver for Node.js. It simplifies the driver's API by enabling chained calls, connection via db URLs, and convenient helpers like collection binding and promise-style methods.

Use cases

• connect to mongodb from node.js with a connection url
• simplify mongodb queries with chained api calls
• bind helper methods to mongodb collections
• use mongodb replica sets without manual connection event handling
• wrap node-mongodb-native callbacks in promise-style calls

When to choose

• you are using node-mongodb-native and want a friendlier, chainable API
• you want quick mongodb connections via a dburl string
• you want to attach custom model helper methods to collections

When to avoid

• you are starting a new project - use the modern official mongodb node driver instead
• you need the latest mongodb driver features or driver versions
• you use an ORM/ODM like mongoose and need schema validation
