Abstract
MongoDB is a document based NoSQL database system which stores data in the form of JSON documents. The de-normalized structure of MongoDB document makes query performance efficient and cost effective. In this project, a daycare application is implemented using MongoDB as the database. To emulate real life data, Big Data documents are generated programmatically using data generator tool from Redgate Software Ltd, called SQL Data Generator, Visual Studio SSIS tool, and python scripting. To connect with the database and perform CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations on the data using RESTful API, multiple methods were surveyed in this project. These studies include dependencies and methods to wrap MongoDB with Java, C# and nodeJS. Further, this project implemented RESTful API using nodeJS, wrapping MongoDB as the backend database. The frontend was rendered with AngularJS which communicates with the backend and allows users to query and operate on the data stored in MongoDB. A MVC (Model View Controller) vi model was used to implement the REST API, where Model is our MongoDB database and AngularJS is our View.
