Node.js + mongodb or mongojs?

Question

I have been recently migrating all my apps to node.js, like it should be. And I have been using the mongojs driver, however I recently found that there is a mongodb driver. I was wondering, is there any difference between this two? Performance?

Answer 1

Mongojs is just simpler in its usage, because some functions and are wrapped and easier to call.

It doesn't affect the performance, but theoretically its a bit slower, because there is an additional function call.

You are good using Node.js and the native driver. For starters and cleaner code mongojs is a good option.

Answer 2

MongoJS, is more easy, simple and the final result is not slow.

For the last years i'm using only MongoJS for build API's, with millions of transactions per hour, without problems.
