Mongoose allows you to work with Mongo in an easier way. One thing that Mongo by default doesn't do is care anything about the shape of your data. You can do relational queries inside of Mongoose using populate and have it work somewhat easy. Birthily would rather just go straight up a Mongo aggregation pipeline, but for me, work fine.
In this episode of Syntax, Wes and Scott talk about the benefits and potential drawbacks of using an ORM on your next project, as well as what some of the popular ORMs are.
