An object-relational mapper maps between objects and relations -- hence the name. Thus, without relations (-> Mongo) there can be no ORM.

- gregwebs 15y agoPerhaps I am using the term to loosely, and I do see people use an acronym with a D for document now. There are still plenty of relations in Mongo, particularly when you expose them through Mongoid, rather than being enforced in a schema: http://mongoid.org/docs/relations.html http://mongoid.org/docs/relations.html The MongoDB docs do say that I am supposed to use the term "ODM". I will update my post. thanks.
