Hi Django Users!
I'm in the planning process for creating a general-purpose (i.e., not only Django) MongoDB ODM. The short-term goal for this project is to provide a general purpose core ODM useful in a variety of frameworks. Later on, I'd like to extend this generic layer to provide Django-specific features. I'm doing some research now to determine what libraries are popular for working with MongoDB in Django (e.g., MongoEngine, django-nonrel, etc). I'm also interested in hearing about what features you think are lacking from these libraries and/or what aspects could be better about them. I have a few questions for anyone who's interested in putting forth their own ideas in to this new library's design:
1. What library/libraries do you use to integrate MongoDB with Django?
2. Why did you choose to use this library over other MongoDB ODMs?
2. What pain points exist using this library versus one of the built-in Django backends?
Feel free to answer some, all or even none of these questions and just provide any feedback you have. These questions are merely to get the conversation started. Thanks in advance for your thoughts!
