Mongoose is an elegant MongoDB object modeling tool designed for Node.js. It provides a straightforward schema-based solution for modeling application data and interacting with MongoDB databases. With Mongoose, developers can define schemas, perform CRUD operations, define relationships between data, and leverage built-in validation features.

Compared to using the native MongoDB driver directly, Mongoose simplifies the development process by offering a higher level of abstraction and a more intuitive API. It also provides features like middleware, schema casting, and query building, making it a popular choice for Node.js developers working with MongoDB.
