Strength compared to Ming

[Paul-Olivier Dehaye]

Hi everyone,
I was wondering if anyone could enlighten me... What are the advantages of mongoengine over ming? I know ming has some functionality for specifying migrations from one schema to another, as well as a unit-of-work concept. It also has a LazyProperty decorator.
Beyond just the style used (which is similar), is there anything I missed?
Thanks
Paul

Hi,

I havent had experience using ming so I can't declare all the advantages.  MongoEngine syntax is different and more familiar to those from a Django background.  Key features are: dynamic and efficient dereferencing of linked data - which can be lazy or automatically fetched.  We also have a dirty data tracking and also convert .save() to do $set and $unset operations as needed.
