Storing JSON Data with MongoDB: Advantages of Document-Oriented Databases

As a document - oriented database, MongoDB naturally fits the JSON data structure. It can solve the problems of fixed table structure and difficult expansion of traditional relational databases. Its core advantages include: no need to pre - define table structures, and fields can be added or removed dynamically (for example, users can add a "hobby" field without modifying the table); native support for nested structures (for example, user information and addresses can be stored in a nested manner); adaptation to rapid iteration needs, and no need to modify the database structure when adding new product types or fields; support for horizontal expansion (sharding function) to handle large - volume data; and the query syntax is similar to JSON, which is intuitive and easy to use (for example, the syntax for querying "users over 20 years old" is concise). Applicable scenarios include content management systems, user portraits, and rapidly iterating Internet applications. It should be noted that for scenarios with strong transactional requirements (such as bank transfers) or extremely high data consistency requirements, it is recommended to give priority to relational databases. With its flexible structure and ease of use, MongoDB is an efficient choice for handling unstructured or semi - structured data.
