original documentation

Mongolite - A tiny, self-contained, single file database, written in pure Javascript, which aims to support a functional subset of MongoDB commands. It works seamlessly in both the client (browser) and the server (node.js). Just include it in your project and go. The database format is stored as human-readable JSON, one file per each database.

To use mongolite.js in node.js, simply do:

var mongolite = require( './mongolite.js' ); // path to JS

var db = mongolite.open( path_to_db );      // ** There are multiple ways to open a db, but the simplest is to put 
db.insert( {key:"Anything you want"} );     //    the path and filename to where you want it. Eg.: "/tmp/my_data.db"

var db2 = mongolite.open( "another.db" );   // ** Multiple databases can be opened at once; each is fully independent.
db2.insert( {subarray:[1,2,'buckle',{'my':'shoe'}]} );

var result = db.find( /regex/ );            // ** Find() command works like MongoDB
                                            // ** Returns db_result, which has a length property and _data[] array
                                            //    as well as chainable methods like: .sort(), .limit(), .skip(), ..
