MongoDB Kotlin Driver
Introduction
Welcome to the documentation site for the Kotlin Driver, the official MongoDB driver for server-side Kotlin applications that use coroutines. Download the driver by using Maven or Gradle, or set up a runnable project by following our Quick Start guide.
Tip
Other Kotlin Platforms for MongoDB
If your Kotlin application requires synchronous processing, use the Sync Driver, which uses synchronous operations to make blocking calls to MongoDB.
If you are developing an Android or Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP) application, you can use the MongoDB Atlas Device Kotlin SDK to access Atlas App Services and to manage your Realm data.
