Why use mongodb in NodeAPI? Not sql
When should I use an mongodb ?

This was just an experiment to learn about NodeJS and MongoDB. I haven't made these choices based on some specific requirements.

For your question I suggest to looks for articles and discussions about "SQL vs NoSQL".

As a general advice I would say that if you don't really need NoSQL features (like dealing with unstructured data) - prefer simple SQL databases.
