What is MongoDB?
MongoDB is an object-oriented, simple, dynamic, and scalable NoSQL database. It is based on the NoSQL document store model.
The data objects are stored as separate documents inside a collection — instead of storing the data into the columns and rows of a traditional relational database.
With this integration plugins, you can now store and load data from form, datalist, and grid.
