MongoDB as an Efficient Graph Database: An Application of Document Oriented NOSQL Database
Parmar Raj R., Roy Sudipta · Advances in parallel computing · 2018
This paper tries exploring the ways with which a MongoDB database can be used as a Graph database. In this chapter, we identified the advantages in designing real world application designed using one of the dynamic set of Not Only Structured Query Language (NoSQL) databases – graph databases. MongoDB being a document oriented database is not capable of processing graphs by default. We have explained reasons behind choosing MongoDB to implement graph structures. Later on a set of possible solutions available are identified. At the end, a novel application has been created to not only simplify the implementation of graph structures efficiently in MongoDB but also for visualizing the graphs created by the users.
