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.

What's inside

• Full CRUD + publish flow for markdown posts
• Local auth: users collection, argon2, HS256 JWT
• Drop-in Clerk & Auth0 JWT verifier examples
• libmongoc via @cImport — real C interop, documented
• Indexes ensured on startup
• compose stack — MongoDB state in ./data, healthchecked
