Simon: Simple MongoDB Models

Meet Simon. He wants to help you create simple MongoDB models.

Overview

Simon is a model library for MongoDB. It aims to introduce the features of MongoDB and PyMongo in a Pythonic way. It allows you to work with objects and methods instead of only allowing you to work with everything as a dict.

Simon tries emphasize the flexibility and power of MongoDB. It does this in a couple of ways. First, unlike other libraries of its kind, Simon does not enforce a schema on your documents. This allows you to take advantage of the dynamic schemas offered by MongoDB. Second, while Simon allows you to perform traditional saves, it also allows you full control over performing atomic updates. This is covered in greater detail in the Basic Usage section.
