Mongoose is an Object Data Modeling (ODM) library for MongoDB and Node.js. It provides a higher-level abstraction over the MongoDB driver, including schema validation, middleware, and more. Unlike @types/mongodb, which provides type definitions, Mongoose offers a more opinionated and feature-rich approach to interacting with MongoDB.
The 'mongodb' package is the official MongoDB driver for Node.js. It provides a lower-level API for interacting with MongoDB databases. While @types/mongodb provides TypeScript definitions for this driver, the 'mongodb' package itself is the core library used for database operations.
Typegoose is a TypeScript library that allows you to define Mongoose models using TypeScript classes. It combines the features of Mongoose with TypeScript's type safety. Typegoose provides a more integrated experience for TypeScript developers compared to using @types/mongodb with the MongoDB driver.
