MongoDB

MongoDB is a leading open-source NoSQL document database tailored for Mac developers. It stores data in flexible BSON (JSON-like) documents, allowing dynamic schema design perfect for scalable, modern applications. Easy to install via Homebrew or official packages, it integrates seamlessly with local dev environments, supporting ad-hoc queries, indexing, and aggregation. The Mac version works with MongoDB Compass (a GUI tool) to visualize and manage data, making it ideal for building web, mobile, or cloud-native apps with rapid development cycles and flexible data models that adapt to changing needs.
