Welcome to the MongoDB C++ Driver!
Use this branch if:
- You need a production ready release of the C++ driver that is not under active development.
- 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 and do not mind the driver being actively worked on.
- 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++ driver (work in progress) |
legacy | Unstable | Active | Existing C++ driver with non-compatible improvements |
26compat | Stable | Maintenance Only | Drop in replacement for users of existing 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

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.
