> High-level, high-performance MongoDB client based on libmongoc and

  jsonlite. Includes support for aggregation, indexing, map-reduce, streaming,

  SSL encryption and SASL authentication. The vignette gives a brief overview

  of the available methods in the package.

## Documentation

About the R package:

 - Book: [Mongolite User Manual](https://jeroen.github.io/mongolite/)

 - Presentation: [UseR 2015 slides](http://jeroen.github.io/mongo-slides/)

## Hello World

Example using a public test server

```r

con <- mongo("mtcars", url =

  "mongodb+srv://readwrite:[email protected]/test")

# Wipe collection

if(con$count() > 0) 

  con$drop()

  

# Insert some data

con$insert(mtcars)

stopifnot(con$count() == nrow(mtcars))

# Query data

mydata <- con$find()

stopifnot(all.equal(mydata, mtcars))

con$drop()

# Automatically disconnect when connection is removed

rm(con)

gc()

```

Insert/retrieve data from your local mongodb server:

```r

# Init connection to local mongod

library(mongolite)

m <- mongo(collection = "diamonds")

# Insert test data

data(diamonds, package="ggplot2")

m$insert(diamonds)

# Check records

m$count()

nrow(diamonds)

# Perform a query and retrieve data

out <- m$find('{"cut" : "Premium", "price" : { "$lt" : 1000 } }')

# Compare

nrow(out)

nrow(subset(diamonds, cut == "Premium" & price < 1000))

```

More advanced features include map reduce:

```r

# Cross-table

tbl <- m$mapreduce(

  map = "function(){emit({cut:this.cut, color:this.color}, 1)}",

  reduce = "function(id, counts){return Array.sum(counts)}"

)

# Same as:

data.frame(with(diamonds, table(cut, color)))

```

Importing and exporting json or bson data:

```r

# Stream jsonlines into a connection

tmp <- tempfile()

m$export(file(tmp))

# Stream it back in R

library(jsonlite)

mydata <- stream_in(file(tmp))

# Or into mongo

m2 <- mongo("diamonds2")

m2$count()

m2$import(file(tmp))

m2$count()

# Remove the collection

m$drop()

m2$drop()

```

## Installation

Binary packages for __OS-X__ or __Windows__ can be installed directly from CRAN:

```r

install.packages("mongolite")

```

Installation from source on Linux requires `openssl` and `Cyrus SASL` (**not** `GNU sasl`). On __Debian__ or __Ubuntu__ use [libssl-dev](https://packages.debian.org/testing/libssl-dev) and [libsasl2-dev](https://packages.debian.org/testing/libsasl2-dev):

```

sudo apt-get install -y libssl-dev libsasl2-dev

```

On __Fedora__, __CentOS or RHEL__ use [openssl-devel](https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/openssl-devel) and [cyrus-sasl-devel](https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/cyrus-sasl-devel):

```

sudo yum install openssl-devel cyrus-sasl-devel
