Mongoose is an elegant MongoDB object modeling tool designed for Node.js. It provides a straightforward schema-based solution for modeling application data and interacting with MongoDB databases. With Mongoose, developers can define schemas, perform CRUD operations, define relationships between data, and leverage built-in validation features.
Compared to using the native MongoDB driver directly, Mongoose simplifies the interaction with MongoDB by offering a higher level of abstraction and additional features like middleware, schema validation, and query building. It is actively maintained and widely used in the Node.js ecosystem.
