The MongoDB Rust Driver is a native, idiomatic Rust client for MongoDB that gives systems software and back-end services the ability to interact with MongoDB from safe, performant Rust code. It makes extensive use of Rust’s ownership and type systems to ensure memory safety, thread safety, and predictable performance without garbage collection overhead. The driver supports common MongoDB features like CRUD operations, indexing, aggregations, change streams, and transactions, enabling full use of the database’s capabilities from Rust applications. Because it’s asynchronous by design, it works well with Rust async runtimes like Tokio and async-std, letting developers build highly concurrent networked services that efficiently use modern multicore hardware. The crate also includes BSON encoding and decoding that maps cleanly to Rust types, so developers can work with rich document structures while retaining Rust’s performance guarantees.
