mongodb for django

I like mongodb and django,and there are some frameworks to select:

• mongodbengine
开发者_高级运维
• django-mongodb-engine

Mongodbengine has good performance and django ORM like api,but when serialize ,it's not supported now.

Django-mongodb-engine is a django backend,you can use it with django ORM.

So django-mongodb-engine is better? and how about its performance?

There are a number of projects out there for incorporating MongoDB with Django but the best one (I believe) is yet to come. Alex Gaynor's Google Summer of Code project is working on a queryset refactor of the Django ORM to allow for non-relational backends. In his last update he stated that they have a working MongoDB backend:

Since this is about the halfway point of GSOC I'll give a general overview: we have a working MongoDB backend, with many implemented features, and a set of changes to Django itself (that don't break anything else of course) that enable this.

http://groups.google.com/group/django-developers/browse_thread/thread/36ed23d7b32ff0fd?pli=1

So if you want to use MongoDB with the Django ORM you can switch to django-norel and use django-mongodb-engine or you can wait for Alex's work to be merged into the trunk.

We use django-mongodb-engine in production and we haven't face any performance issues. It is well known that using django-mongodb-engine means that you'll be tight to the django ORM, checks, fields and so on. But, you're also able to execute raw queries when you simply don't care about django ORM.

django-mongodb-engine started taking some ideas from opensource projects (mongodbengine is one of those)

P.S: One of the things I like more about django-mongodb is the easy integration with django because it allow you to simply switch the DB when you need it (Unless you're using "non-standard fields")

P.S2: I'll open a issue requesting some benchmarks
