MongoDB PHP Library
|
|
===================
|
|
|
|
.. default-domain:: mongodb
|
|
|
|
The |php-library| provides a high-level abstraction around the lower-level
|
|
`PHP driver <https://php.net/mongodb>`_, also known as the ``mongodb``
|
|
extension.
|
|
|
|
While the ``mongodb`` extension provides a limited API for executing commands,
|
|
queries, and write operations, the |php-library| implements an API similar to
|
|
that of the `legacy PHP driver <http://php.net/manual/en/book.mongo.php>`_. The
|
|
library contains abstractions for client, database, and collection objects, and
|
|
provides methods for CRUD operations and common commands such as index and
|
|
collection management.
|
|
|
|
If you are developing a PHP application with MongoDB, you should consider using
|
|
this library, or another high-level abstraction, instead of the extension alone.
|
|
|
|
For additional information about this library and the ``mongodb`` extension, see
|
|
the `Architecture Overview <http://php.net/manual/en/mongodb.overview.php>`_
|
|
article in the extension documentation. `Derick Rethans
|
|
<http://derickrethans.nl/>`_ has also written a series of blog posts entitled
