MongoDB, the most popular NoSQL database, is an open-source document-oriented database.

The term ‘NoSQL’ means ‘non-relational’. It means that MongoDB isn’t based on the table-like
relational database structure but provides an altogether different mechanism for storage and
retrieval of data. This format of storage is called BSON ( similar to JSON format). 

SQL databases store data in tabular format. This data is stored in a predefined data model which
is not very much flexible for today’s real-world highly growing applications. Modern
applications are more networked, social and interactive than ever. Applications are storing
more and more data and are accessing it at higher rates.

Relational Database Management System(RDBMS) is not the correct choice when it comes to
handling big data by the virtue of their design since they are not horizontally scalable. If the
database runs on a single server, then it will reach a scaling limit. NoSQL databases are more
scalable and provide superior performance. MongoDB is such a NoSQL database that scales by
adding more and more servers and increases productivity with its flexible document model.
