I have been recently migrating all my apps to node.js, like it should be. And I have been using the mongojs driver, however I recently found that there is a mongodb driver. I was wondering, is there any difference between this two? Performance?

2I would recommend the native node driver produced by mongodb themselves: github.com/mongodb/node-mongodb-nativeAri– Ari2014-01-26 21:34:50 +00:00Commented Jan 26, 2014 at 21:34

the driver itself says it's a "module for mongodb, that emulates the official mongodb API as much as possible." then I assume there's no difference between the 2 of them. and I still recommend the official driver.yaoxing– yaoxing2014-01-27 02:03:22 +00:00Commented Jan 27, 2014 at 2:03

Mongojs is just simpler in its usage, because some functions and are wrapped and easier to call.
It doesn't affect the performance, but theoretically its a bit slower, because there is an additional function call.
You are good using Node.js and the native driver. For starters and cleaner code mongojs is a good option.
MongoJS, is more easy, simple and the final result is not slow.
For the last years i'm using only MongoJS for build API's, with millions of transactions per hour, without problems.
