Is mongojs a well maintained project?

[Srirangan]

I'm thinking of using mongojs instead of mongoose. Why? Lesser learning curve, I'm already familiar with MongoDB and think its nice to use the exact same commands I would use in the mongo console.

My only concern with mongojs, and this is where the mongoose team has done really well, is long term commitment. There isn't enough docs on the GitHub page, nothing to suggest that this will be a well maintained long term project.

I'm willing to contribute, who do I have to get in touch with?

We made mongojs at http://Ge.tt and we use it in production, so its
very well maintained. Its actively maintained by https://github.com/freeall
https://github.com/mafintosh https://github.com/ianjorgensen. We will
take any resonalble pull requests but keeping the interface clean is
our main concern, mongojs is a wrapper https://github.com/christkv/node-mongodb-native.

What type of docs would you like to see?

Thanks for the response Ian. I'm working with mongojs and I love it already. 

I'll send some docs / examples your way in the coming weeks as I learn to use it effectively.

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

Here's another one to check out: https://github.com/marcello3d/node-mongolian

Unlike mongoskin and mongojs (which are thin layers on top of mongodb-native), Mongolian DB is my attempt to make a clean mongodb-shell style API from the ground up (though it still uses mongodb-native's bson/mongo message serialization).

That doesn't really help you decide, though, now does it? :-)

I've used mongoskin and love what it does.

hi,
is mongojs noticable slower than mongo-native? it looks like just perfect!

[Ricardo Tomasi]

Jim,

I'm not a contributor but would like to hear the exact issue you're
having with mongoose. In my experience some features from mongo are
(or were) not documented but work just fine.

Actually mongojs supports cursors as the same speed as mongo-native:

Just do:

var cursor = db.mycollection.find(query);

cursor.forEach(function(err, elem) { ... });

or any of the other cursor operations - it's just a very small wrapper

Nope, db.mycollection.find(query) returns a javascript array object.
cursor.forEach is just executing the forEach method of the array. Like it was
mentioned earlier, true cursors are not available in mongojs.
