amongoc Features#
amongoc is the first official asynchronous MongoDB C driver library, and
targets compatibility with the driver library APIs that are common across other
language implementations.
Because the library needs to be built from the ground-up to support asynchronous
control flow, very little of the existing C driver implementation can be used
directly, meaning that much of the feature set needs to be reimplemented. This
page documents the status of the common driver library APIs within amongoc.
Since the library is a proof-of-concept, many features have no target release
date, but may be added in some future production-ready version.
