[GitHub - felipenoris/Mongoc.jl: MongoDB driver for the Julia Language](https://github.com/felipenoris/Mongoc.jl) is a MongoDB driver for Julia.

It supports recent MongoDB features, like Sessions and Transactions. And also authentication, aggregation, map-reduce and BSON parsing.

There’s a comprehensive documentation at [Home · Mongoc.jl](https://felipenoris.github.io/Mongoc.jl/latest/) .

It’s a sweet package, in the sense that it is loaded with some syntactic sugar. As an example, this is how you would make a transaction:

```julia
import Mongoc

# connect to a Replica Set
client = Mongoc.Client("mongodb://127.0.0.1:27021,127.0.0.1:27022,127.0.0.1:27023/?replicaSet=rs0")

Mongoc.transaction(client) do session
    database = session["my_database"]
    collection = database["my_collection"]
    new_item = Mongoc.BSON()
    new_item["inserted"] = true
    push!(collection, new_item)
end

```

In PyMongo, for a comparison, you would have to manually link database operations to the session.

I would also like to point out the difference between this package and **LibBSON.jl/Mongo.jl** , which I also have contributed recently : **Mongoc.jl** links to the new mongoc library, while **LibBSON.jl** and **Mongo.jl** uses an old C driver. So an update would make a lot of breaking changes, and this is why I tried to code **Mongoc.jl** from scratch.

For those of you who would like to contribute, please help me find possible memory leaks.

Enjoy!
