Getting Started with the MongoDB C Driver

Some simple examples using the MongoDB C driver

Build and run

These examples are built using GCC on macOS, but they should compile anywhere that has a C compiler

• Clone this repo
• Edit the file called URI.h and add your MongoDB Connection String inside the quotes:

// URI.h
#define MY_MONGODB_URI "mongodb+srv://<your connection string, including user + password>" 

• Make the build script executable chmod a+x build-all.sh
• ./build-all.sh

Build and run with CMake

We can also use CMake to build the programs in this repo. After editing the URI.h, run below commands in the directory:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
cmake --build .

In macOS you need to install Xcode first (free on the Mac App Store)
