Using Express with a NoSQL Database
This course will teach you how to integrate MongoDB into your Express applications.
What you'll learn
Traditional databases excel at helping you manage data in a consistent way, but sometimes your application data is too dynamic to fit neatly into rows and columns. This is where a NoSQL database comes in as an adaptable, flexible alternative. In this course, Using Express with a NoSQL Database, you’ll learn to integrate MongoDB with your Express applications to store, retrieve, and manipulate data. First, you’ll explore the difference between relational and non-relational databases and how MongoDB is different from a traditional relational database. Next, you’ll discover how to securely connect MongoDB to your Express application and load data into your database. Finally, you’ll learn how to use MongoDB’s query language to manipulate data from within your Express application. When you’re finished with this course, you’ll have the skills and knowledge of Express and MongoDB needed to store, retrieve, and manipulate data in your Express applications.
