MongoDB is a schema-free, document-oriented database written in the C++ programming language. It manages collections of BSON documents that can be nested in complex hierarchies and still be easy to query and index, which allows many applications to store data in a natural way that matches their native data types and structures.




Apache CouchDB is a document-oriented database that can be queried and indexed in a MapReduce fashion using JavaScript. CouchDB also offers incremental replication with bi-directional conflict detection and resolution.
