hello-mongoose: Using Mongoose.js for elegant MongoDB object modeling in Node.js.

MongoDB and Node.js are often used together because of their shared use of Javascript and its Object Notation (JSON). Mongoose is a popular helper library that provides a more rigorous modeling environment for your data, enforcing a little bit more structure as needed, while still maintaining flexibility that makes MongoDB powerful. In this article, you make a connection to a hosted MongoDB instance at add-on provider MongoLab with Mongoose and model a simple object.
