The official MongoDB Provider for Entity Framework Core (EF Core) is now publicly available, allowing developers using EF Core to create C# and .NET applications with MongoDB while leveraging its powerful data platform. This integration benefits the large community of C# and .NET developers by enabling them to use familiar APIs and design patterns while taking advantage of MongoDB's advanced features. The Provider offers compatibility with EF Core 8 and .NET 8, advanced query and data operation capabilities, increased flexibility in mapping and configuration, enhanced array and list management, improved logging, and support for code-first workflows, basic CRUD operations, string and numeric type operators, embedded documents, class mapping and serialization, LINQ queries, and change tracking.
