json - Access MongoDB directly via JavaScript

Question

is there any possibility to access and retrieve data from MongoDB directly over JavaScript form browser without backend processing?

Answer 1

MongoDB natively does not have a fully usable REST interface. You will need either Python based Sleepy Mongoose or Node.js based MongoDB Rest

Please see http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/Http+Interface for more information.

Mongo's inbuilt REST interface is very basic & read only.
