Welcome to the MongoDB C++ Driver!
Use this branch if:
- You have existing code that used the driver from the server source and want it to continue working without modification.
Switch to the legacy branch if:
- You are using MongoDB's C++ driver for the first time.
- You had been using 26compat (or the driver inside of the server source) and want to benefit from incremental improvements while having the same overall API.
Note: As of MongoDB 2.6.0-rc1, it is no longer possible to build the driver from the server sources: this repository is the only approved source for driver builds.
| Branch | Stability | Development | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| master | Unstable | Planning | New C++11 driver (work in progress) |
| legacy | Stable | Stable Evolution | Primary stable C++ driver release |
| 26compat | Stable | Maintenance Only | Drop in replacement for users of existing 2.6 era C++ driver |
WARNING: The master branch will contain future development work on a new driver with a completely new API and implementation. It is a work in progress and currently should not be used.
libmongoclient.[so|dylib|dll]- The shared mongoclient library (but see notes)libmongoclient.a- The static mongoclient library
See http://jira.mongodb.org/browse/CXX
Use of the shared library is experimental on windows and is currently discouraged. This is primarily due to the complexity of ensuring a matching implementation of STL types between library and consumer code. This problem is unique to windows, as the consistent use of system libraries largely mitigates this danger.
