Subject: Re: Is mongojs a well maintained project?

I'm developing a node+express+mongodb app with no prior experience
with any of the components in this stack. I had been using mongoose
but have recently discovered that it prevents me (as far as I can
tell) from easily doing something that mongodb can do. I've been
surveying the alternate mongo libraries and somehow missed mongojs.
In
my limited search so far, I was leaning towards mongoskin, mostly
because it seemed to be the most actively followed of the various
mongodb-native wrappers. Can anyone with more experience compare/
contrast these two (and other) wrappers?

Thanks,
Jim Lloyd
