Summary

PyMODM is an object modeling package for Python that works like an Object Relational Mapping (ORM) and provides a validation and modeling layer on top of PyMongo, MongoDB's Python driver. It allows developers to focus more on developing application logic instead of creating validation logic to ensure data integrity. PyMODM provides benefits such as field validation, built-in reference handling, familiar PyMongo syntax, and easy installation. It can be used with any Python framework, is compatible with Python 3, and is supported by MongoDB. PyMODM helps developers minimize operational database tasks by providing automatic connection setup, authentication, and IP address whitelisting for MongoDB Atlas. By defining models and applying schema validation, developers can reduce the likelihood of storing invalid data in MongoDB. PyMODM also provides powerful features such as referencing other models, on-delete behavior, and easy integration with Flask or other frameworks. Together, PyMODM and MongoDB Atlas provide a compelling solution to enable fast, iterative development while reducing costs and operational tasks.
