About MongoDB
MongoDB is a cross-platform, document-oriented database system, classified as a "NoSQL" database. Rather than using a traditional table-based, relational DB structure, it uses a collection of JSON-like documents with dynamic schemas and hierarchical data, called "BSON". The system is highly-scalable and lends itself to "big data" implementations.
Many Logi elements are designed to work with tabular data in rows and columns, so we've provided functionality to transform MongoDB hierarchical data directly into tabular XML data.
