Key Features
Since MongoDb offers a Document oriented storage, It is simple and easily
programmable.
∑ You can set an index on any attribute of a MongoDb record (as
FirstName="Sameer",Address="8 Gandhi Road"), with respect to which, a record can be sort
quickly and ordered.
∑ You can set mirror across local as well as wide area networks, which makes it easily scalable.
∑ If load increases (more storage space, more processing power), it can be distributed to other
nodes across computer networks. This is called as sharding.
∑ MongoDb supports rich query to fetch data from the database.
∑ MongoDb supports replacing an entire document (database) or some specific fields with it's
update() command.
∑ MongoDb supports Map/Reduce framework for batch processing of data and aggregation
operation. Here is brief of how Map/Reduce works :
∑ Map : A master node takes an input. Splits it into smaller sections. Sends it to the associated
nodes.
∑ These nodes may perform the same operation in turn to send those smaller section of input to
other nodes. It process the problem (taken as input) and sends it back to the Master Node.](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/nodejsandexpressjstutorial-160601125018/85/Node-Js-AngularJs-and-Express-Js-Tutorial-4-320.jpg)

Node Js, AngularJs and Express Js Tutorial
- 1. Stack RESTful API Tutorial - Using MongoDB, Express, Angular JS, and Node JS Together Before starting on these let us discuss about the platforms terms. What is NodeJs? Node.js is a server side platform built on Google Chrome's JavaScript Engine (V8 Engine). Node.js was developed by Ryan Dahl in 2009 and its latest version is v0.10.36. The definition of Node.js as supplied by its official documentation is as follows − Node.js is a platform built on Chrome's JavaScript runtime for easily building fast and scalable network applications. Node.js uses an event-driven, non-blocking I/O model that makes it lightweight and efficient, perfect for data-intensive real-time applications that run across distributed devices. Node.js is an open source, cross-platform runtime environment for developing server-side and networking applications. Node.js applications are written in JavaScript, and can be run within the Node.js runtime on OS X, Microsoft Windows, and Linux. Node.js also provides a rich library of various JavaScript modules which simplifies the development of web applications using Node.js to a great extent. Node.js = Runtime Environment + JavaScript Library Features of Node.js Following are some of the important features that make Node.js the first choice of software architects. ∑ Asynchronous and Event Driven All APIs of Node.js library are asynchronous that is, non-blocking. It essentially means a Node.js based server never waits for an API to return data. The server moves to the next API after calling it and a notification mechanism of Events of Node.js helps the server to get a response from the previous API call.
- 2. ∑ Very Fast Being built on Google Chrome's V8 JavaScript Engine, Node.js library is very fast in code execution. ∑ Single Threaded but Highly Scalable - Node.js uses a single threaded model with event looping. Event mechanism helps the server to respond in a non- blocking way and makes the server highly scalable as opposed to traditional servers which create limited threads to handle requests. Node.js uses a single threaded program and the same program can provide service to a much larger number of requests than traditional servers like Apache HTTP Server. ∑ No Buffering - Node.js applications never buffer any data. These applications simply output the data in chunks. ∑ License - Node.js is released under the MIT license. Who Uses Node.js? Following is the link on github wiki containing an exhaustive list of projects, application and companies which are using Node.js. This list includes eBay, General Electric, GoDaddy, Microsoft, PayPal, Uber, Wikipins, Yahoo!, and Yammer to name a few. ∑ Projects, Applications, and Companies Using Node Concepts The following diagram depicts some important parts of Node.js which we will discuss in detail in the subsequent chapters.
- 3. Where to Use Node.js? Following are the areas where Node.js is proving itself as a perfect technology partner. ∑ I/O bound Applications ∑ Data Streaming Applications ∑ Data Intensive Real time Applications (DIRT) ∑ JSON APIs based Applications ∑ Single Page Applications Where Not to Use Node.js? It is not advisable to use Node.js for CPU intensive applications. What is MongoDb? MongoDb is a Open Source database written in C++. Drivers and client libraries are typically written in their respective languages, although some drivers use C extensions for better performance. If the load increases, by adding more nodes (such as a computer), the performance can be retained.

Which allows a developer to use a single programming language for both client and server side code. ∑ MongoDb is easily installable. MongoDB Fundamentals : Frequently Asked Questions What kind of database is MongoDB? MongoDB is a document-oriented DBMS. Think of MySQL but with JSON-like objects comprising the data mode, rather than RDBMS tables. MongoDB supports neither joins nor transactions. Do MongoDB database stores its data in tables? A MongoDB database stores its data in collections instead of tables, which are the rough equivalent of RDBMS tables. Do MongoDB databases have schemas? MongoDB uses dynamic schemas. Without defining the structure you can create collections, i.e. the fields or the types of their values, of the documents in the collection. You can change the structure of documents simply by adding new fields or deleting existing ones. Which programming languages can be used to work with MongoDB? MongoDB client drivers exist for all of the most popular programming languages. See the latest list of drivers for details. Does MongoDB support SQL? No. What are typical uses for MongoDB? Content management systems, mobile applications, gaming, e-commerce, analytics, archiving, and logging. Does MongoDB support transactions? No. However, MongoDB does provide atomic operations on a single document. Does MongoDB require a lot of RAM? Not necessarily. It's certainly possible to run MongoDB on a machine with a small amount of free RAM. MongoDB automatically uses all free memory on the machine as its cache. Does MongoDB handle caching? Yes. MongoDB keeps all of the most recently used data in RAM. If you have created indexes for your queries and your working data set fits in RAM, MongoDB serves all queries from memory.
- 6. What are the limitations of 32-bit versions of MongoDB? Changed in version 3.0: Commercial support is no longer provided for MongoDB on 32-bit platforms (Linux and Windows). History Development of MongoDB began in October 2007 by 10gen. The first public release was in February 2009. Obtain MongoDb You can download MongoDb from http://www.mongodb.org/downloads. As of this writing, it supports following platforms: ∑ OS X 32-bit ∑ OS X 64-bit ∑ Linux 32-bit ∑ Linux 64-bit ∑ Windows 32-bit ∑ Windows 64-bit ∑ Solaris i86pc ∑ Solaris 64 ∑ You can download the source and install MongoDb from that too. MongoDB : Databases, Schemas and Tables Databases : MongoDB is a document-oriented DBMS, with JSON-like objects comprising the data model, rather than RDBMS tables. MongoDB does not support joins nor transactions. However, it features secondary indexes, an expressive query language, atomic writes on a per-document level, and fully- consistent reads. MongoDB uses BSON, a binary object format similar to, but more expressive than JSON. Schemas : MongoDB uses dynamic schemas. We can create collections without defining the structure, i.e. the fields or the types of their values, of the documents. You can change the structure of documents simply by adding new fields or deleting existing ones. Documents in a collection need unique set of fields. Tables : MongoDB database stores its data in collections not in tables The collections are the rough equivalent of RDBMS tables. A collection holds one or more documents, which corresponds to a record or a row in a relational database
- 7. table, and each document has one or more fields, which corresponds to a column in a relational database table. MongoDB and ACID transactions MongoDB does not support multi-document transactions, but provides atomic operations on a single document. Often these document-level atomic operations are sufficient to solve problems that would require ACID transactions in a relational database. In MongoDB, you can embed related data in nested arrays or nested documents within a single document and update the entire document in a single atomic operation. Relational databases might represent the same kind of data with multiple tables and rows, which would require transaction support to update the data atomically. MongoDB allows clients to read documents inserted or modified before it commits these modifications to disk, regardless of write concern level or journaling configuration. Applications may observe two classes of behaviors : ∑ MongoDB will allow clients to read the results of a write operation before the write operation returns for systems with multiple concurrent readers and writers ∑ If the mongodb terminates before the journal commits, even if a write returns successfully, queries may have read data that will not exist after the mongodb restarts. Other database systems refer to these isolation semantics as read uncommitted. For all inserts and updates, MongoDB modifies ∑ each document in isolation ∑ clients never see documents in intermediate states For multi-document operations, MongoDB does not provide any multi-document transactions or isolation. When mongodb returns a successful journaled write concern, the data is fully committed to disk and will be available after mongodb restarts. For replica sets, write operations are durable only after a write replicates and commits to the journal of a majority of the voting members of the set. MongoDB and caching MongoDB has no configurable cache. MongoDB uses all free memory on the system automatically by way of memory-mapped files. Operating systems use the same approach with their file system caches. MongoDB keeps all of the most recently used data in RAM. If you have created indexes for your queries and your working data set fits in RAM, MongoDB serves all queries from memory.
- 8. MongoDB does not implement a query cache, it serves all queries directly from the indexes and/or data files. Tools There are several tools available for managing MongoDB. Monitoring Network and System monitoring tool Munin has a plugin available for MongoDB. Distributes high-performance system monitoring tool Gangila has a plugin available for MongoDB. Open source web based graphic tool Cacti, used to graph CPU load, network bandwidth utilization, has a plugin available for MongoDB. GUI ∑ Fang of Mongo is a web-based user interface built with Django and jQuery. ∑ Futon4Mongo is a clone of the CouchDB Futon web interface for MongoDB. ∑ Mongo3 is a Ruby-based interface. ∑ MongoHub is a native OS X application for managing MongoDB. ∑ Opricot is a browser-based MongoDB shell written in PHP. ∑ phpMoAdmin is a PHP based MongoDb management tool. ∑ MongoVUE is a Windows based GUI to work with MongoDB. ∑ RockMongo is a PHP based MongoDB administration GUI tool. MongoDB in production Here is a list of a few MongoDB production deployment: ∑ Craiglist uses MongoDb to archive there billions of records. ∑ FourSquare, a location based social networking site, uses MongoDb to shrade there data over a number of machines on Amazon EC2. ∑ Shutterfly, an Internet-based social expression and personal publishing service, uses MongoDb for various persistent data storage requirements. ∑ bit.ly, a web based url shortening service, uses MongoDb for storing their data. ∑ spike.com, a MTV Network's associate, uses MongoDB.
- 9. ∑ Intuit, a large provider of software and services for small businesses and individuals, uses MongoDB to track user engagement and activity in real-time across its network of websites for small businesses. ∑ sourceforge.net, a site to find, create and publish Open Source Software for free, uses MongoDB for back-end storage. ∑ etsy.com, a site to buy and sell handmade items, uses MongoDB. ∑ The New York Times, one of the leading online news portal, is using MongoDB in a form- building application for photo submissions. ∑ CERN, the prestigious particle Physics research institute, uses MongoDB for Large Hadron Collider data. What is ExpressJs? Express is a framework of Node.js that allows you to use several very useful and powerful features without having to reinvent the wheel, helps you organize your application's routing and use any templating solution with minimal effort. It also allows for much better organization of your code. In my personal opinion, Express.js is the best Node.js framework but Meteor.js, Derby.js, Sails.js and Flatiron.js are some of the best alternatives. Especially Meteor which is more of a full stack framework is superb and can do quite impressive things with minimal effort. What is AngularJs? AngularJS is a structural framework for dynamic web apps. It lets you use HTML as your template language and lets you extend HTML's syntax to express your application's components clearly and succinctly. Angular's data binding and dependency injection eliminate much of the code you would otherwise have to write. <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.4.8/angular.min.js"></script> <body> <div ng-app=""> <p>Input something in the input box:</p> <p>Name : <input type="text" ng-model="name" placeholder="Enter name here"></p> <h1>Hello {{name}}</h1> </div>
