How can I connect my Node.js application to MongoDB without using native modules?

We can accept 20 times slower to avoid using python or C++ in our project. Are there a native module that still works?

There is no need to invent wheel. mongodb package is the simplest one

But if You insist there are many ways:

Easy way: You can use Rest API of mongo and do requests to it using request package

Moderate way: Open mongodb-core package and copy out what You need most, make Your own mongodb class.

Moderate way #2: fork mongodb package, manipulate it and save with new repository name

Hard way: If You want go hardcore (: read mongodb protocol and operate with it using net package to open socket connection to mongodb server.

How about Crest? It's a node wrapper around the MongoDB server that provides a REST API. With it you could talk to MongoDB over REST instead of with a native client, similar to CouchDB.

There are some other utilities listed here. Maybe you're okay with using Python outside of your app but in front of MongoDB to provide the REST API? If so then maybe those are some alternatives if you don't like Crest. Haven't used it myself so I can't vouch for its quality, but it is listed on MongoDB's own list so hopefully it's decent.
