Overview
The MongoDB C Driver is a C library that you can use to connect to MongoDB and interact with data stored in your deployment. This guide shows you how to create an application that uses the C driver to connect to a MongoDB cluster hosted on MongoDB Atlas and query data in your cluster.
Tip
MongoDB Atlas is a fully managed cloud database service that hosts your MongoDB deployments. You can create your own free (no credit card required) MongoDB Atlas deployment by following the steps in this guide.
Follow this guide to connect a sample C application to a MongoDB Atlas deployment. If you prefer to connect to MongoDB using a different driver or programming language, see our list of official drivers.
