<h1 class="title">MongoDB driver</h1>
<div class="info">
<div class="abstract">
<p class="simpara">
Unlike the <a href="book.mongo.html" class="link">mongo</a> extension, this
extension is developed atop the
<a href="https://github.com/mongodb/mongo-c-driver" class="link external">» libmongoc</a> and
<a href="https://github.com/mongodb/libbson" class="link external">» libbson</a> libraries.
It provides a minimal API for core driver functionality:
<a href="class.mongodb-driver-command.html" class="link">commands</a>,
<a href="class.mongodb-driver-query.html" class="link">queries</a>,
<a href="class.mongodb-driver-bulkwrite.html" class="link">writes</a>,
<a href="class.mongodb-driver-manager.html" class="link">connection management</a>,
and <a href="book.bson.html" class="link">BSON serialization</a>.
</p>
<p class="simpara">
Userland PHP libraries that depend on this extension may provide higher
level APIs, such as query builders, individual command helper methods, and
GridFS. Application developers should consider using this extension in
conjunction with the
<a href="https://github.com/mongodb/mongo-php-library" class="link external">» MongoDB PHP library</a>, which
implements the same higher level APIs found in MongoDB drivers for other
languages. This separation of concerns allows the driver to focus on
essential features for which an extension implementation is paramount for
performance.
