Work with mongoDB and Django

Question

i'm asking a question. When working with mongoDB, can we return a django response with a document(get with find_one()) and work with or do i have to parse the document to build json and return it ?

Answer 1

You have several options here. If you want to have an abstraction layer (ORM), you should consider using:

• mongoengine (docs on django support)
• django-mongodb-engine
• other packages

Alternatively, if you want be "closer to metal", you can just use pymongo (python mongodb driver) directly. But, I bet you will quickly find yourself reinventing wheels.

Hope that helps.
