Why mongodb data files so large (in size)?
Answer / Om Prakash Mourya
MongoDB data files can be quite large due to its design as a NoSQL database that stores data in JSON-like documents. Each document, along with its associated metadata, is stored as a BSON object which can be larger than traditional row-based formats used in SQL databases. Additionally, MongoDB allows for flexible schema designs and array embedding, further contributing to the file size.
