New kid in town: Mongomatic

Paul Engel ma 16 aug 10

Untill a few weeks ago, there were two popular libraries to use MongoDB from Ruby: Mongoid and MongoMapper.

But there’s a new kid in town: Mongomatic!. This gem is created by Ben Myles and John West. Mongomatic as described on their website:

Mongomatic is a Ruby library that lets you easily model your MongoDB documents in your applications.

The primary design goals of Mongomatic are simplicity and adherence to MongoDB conventions. Mongomatic is not an ActiveRecord clone and has been designed to fit nicely with the document-oriented nature of MongoDB.

Features include cursors, hash access to your document and embedded documents, validations, callbacks and conventions for creating indexes and relationships.

In case you wonder whether Mongomatic is used in production: it is! Meta+Level Games does with the social game Shadelight.

Interested? Check out the Mongomatic website. It is easy to read as it describes all aspects very clear and simple.
