mongoDB is an Opensource noSQL based database , The design of mongoDB is agile so that your data doesnt get saved in tables , rows and columns . mongoDB saves data in json-like Documents so that data can be changed dynamically .mongoDB uses BSON (Binary Json ) . The main goal of mongoDB is to bridge the gap between key-values stores and relational databases

3.Setting up mongoDB for windows
Step 1. locate into mongoDB installation path
Step 2. To start the DB engine open up the command prompt and navigate it into the mongodb installation path
cd yourcopiedpath
Step 3. Start mongoDB use mongod command in the command line
u might get the following error

lets create these directories
So now we have to set this path to mongod.exe .
for this navigate back into mongodb installation path
Step 4. now we can use mongod to start up our mongodb and another command prompt to start our mongoDB server use mongo to start the mongoDB server
