A pure R driver for MongoDB. Mongor is still in its infancy, but already supports basic operations including
- inertions,
- queries,
- updates,
- deletes, and
- executing database commands.
MongoDB offers many more advanced features.
You’ll need a couple of things to use mongor.
- get MongoDB installed & running
- the rbson library
A teaser session (to convince the reader that at least some of the package works at all):
> myDocument <- list(mongo="R-friendly!") # R lists are the equivalent of Mongo's documents
> mc <- mongoConnect() # Opens a connection to a Mongo server, with localhost as the default
> mongoInsert(mc, myDocument)
> mongoFind(mc, list(mongo=list("$exists"=TRUE))) # the list is a query document
All of the basic message types have been implemented; I’m still working on how best to expose Mongo’s services to R users. Any input is appreciated!
