According to Mongo's description it's a databasing system that uses the reflection system. However looking at the Project description on the Github, it seems to have a completely different functionality for now. In order to use Mongo, do you need to implement your own databasing system? A look into the header file for APIs shows me that the Database class may not be defined, and it looks for a connection.

It’s a wrapper around mongodb (mongo-c, the old c connector/client lib). It’s outdated now, and need of updating. They refactored their whole library since that code was written. The BSON and client driver code are different libs (libbson and libmongo I think are the new ones).

However, the implementation is complete is you marry the code up to mongo-c, or upgrade it to work with the new libraries.

Ok, so the implementation depends depends on another external library. Eh, I guess I could frankenstien it to work with a custom DB schema for serialization.
