## What it is
Spring Data MongoDB is part of the Spring Data umbrella, providing integration between Java applications and the MongoDB document database. It offers MongoTemplate, an annotation-driven object mapper, repository interfaces, transaction support, client-side field level encryption, and GridFS large file storage within a consistent Spring programming model.

## Use cases
- map Java objects to MongoDB documents with an annotation-driven object mapper
- use repository interfaces for MongoDB data access with custom queries and aggregations
- run multi-document transactions against MongoDB from a Spring application
- store and retrieve large files in MongoDB using GridFS
- encrypt sensitive fields client-side before storing them in MongoDB
- write type-safe MongoDB queries with Querydsl
- use MongoDB from Kotlin with Spring extensions

## When to choose
- you are building a Spring or Spring Boot application backed by MongoDB
- you want repository-style data access and familiar Spring idioms for a document database
- you need MongoDB features like transactions, GridFS, or field-level encryption in Java

## When to avoid
- you use a relational database or a non-MongoDB datastore (choose the matching Spring Data module)
- you are not using the Spring ecosystem and prefer the raw MongoDB Java driver
- you need a lightweight app without framework dependencies

## Facets
- artifact type: framework
- maturity: active
- function: orm, database-driver, database
- domain: databases, backend, developer-tools
- platform: jvm, cross-platform
