Getting started

Refer to the installation instructions and sample code on the wiki:

• Getting started using ObjCMongoDB in your Mac OS project
• The basics of using ObjCMongoDB

Features

• Simple BSON encoding and decoding, using dictionaries.

• Built-in support for arrays, dictionaries, embedded objects, strings, numbers, dates, object IDs, and the miscellaneous MongoDB types.

• More complex encoding and decoding based on NSCoder's keyed coding scheme. A robust delegate interface lets you implement encoding and decoding entirely outside the model classes if necessary.

• Automatically encodes and decodes Core Data entities. Using the coder's delegate interface you can customize the default behavior, or simply implement alternate behavior it in the entity class.

• Aims to feel Cocoa-like, not Mongo-like. For example, method names in MongoKeyedPredicate and MongoUpdateRequest are natural in Cocoa, though they don't conform to the underlying Mongo keywords.
