Data modeling in MongoDB
Data modeling in MongoDB is a nuanced process, distinct from traditional relational databases. On one hand, you have the demands of your application and the way users interact with it. On the other hand, there's the need for efficient performance and the specific patterns employed to access the data. Striking this balance influences the structure of the data itself, which in MongoDB is represented as documents.
Document structure
A standout feature of MongoDB is its versatile document structure. It can handle nested BSON documents and arrays up to an impressive depth of 100 levels. This depth not only showcases the flexibility of the database but also ensures data can be represented in ways that truly resonate with your application needs. Such a structure reduces the need for joins, streamlines data retrieval, and simplifies queries, making MongoDB a powerful choice for complex data architectures.
