There is really only one node.js MongoDB driver.

There are several other tools that sit on top of this driver.

  • Mongoose is an ORM tool, but completely unnecessary.
  • You may want to take a look at Mongoskin or Mongolia which provide less verbose access than the "native" driver.

Good list of MongoDB/Node.JS tools here.

Then you may want to use node.js' native mongodb driver, which is the underlying driver upon which mongoose is built. You can also search on the npm registry for more options.
