rmongodb, a client driver for the R language to MongoDB, was developed with help from 10Gen, Inc.

The full reference manual is available here: rmongodb.pdf

The source code for this driver is now publicly available at GitHub here: https://github.com/gerald-lindsly/rmongodb.

Please contact me at gerald@cnub.org if you have comments, issues or bug reports concerning the driver.

Plans are to submit the driver to the Comprehensive R Archive Network (CRAN) for pre-built distribution soon.

2011-09-05: I added mongo.bson.buffer.append.object() last night. This allows higher level R objects to be stored in the database without loss of attributes (such as their class). The other 'append' functions lose most attributes as they are primarily targeted towards storing single values (or vectors of them). These do support the 'names' attribute as this fitted in naturally with BSON. mongo.bson.buffer.append.object() puts a wrapper around an object's lower level value which can be detected by mongo.bson.value(), mongo.bson.iterator.value and mongo.bson.to.list(). See the docs for more information: rmongodb.pdf.
