Blog Engine — Zig · MongoDB

Zig meets MongoDB through libmongoc — the systems-programming take on documents.

The Zig implementation on MongoDB, wrapping the battle-tested MongoDB C driver via @cImport — a realistic pattern for using mature C libraries from Zig today. Same API contract, argon2 local auth, self-contained JWTs, and the standard provider-swap examples.
