API

Which database is better to choose for creating rest api?
Actually, I am engaged in front-end development, so there is very little knowledge in such areas of knowledge and I don’t even have a clue how it will all be and with what.
The requirements from the database are simple, storing users and tokens, storing lists and adding lists.
I read about mongo and who writes what, who writes not when you don’t use it, then half of the articles are how to make a bunch of node + meteor + mongobd

Answer 1

The requirements from the database are simple, storing users and tokens, storing lists and adding lists.

Under these requirements, both mongo and mysql and another 80% of the databases will suit you. If you are going to use react in a project, then it is better to take a bunch of node + react + mongo. But if it’s easier for you to take mysql and php and you can write api on it, then I don’t see any problems.

Answer 2

Are you doing a serious project or just having fun? If you indulge, then express + mongo will suffice.

Answer 3

then half of the articles how to make a bunch of node + meteor + mongobd

In fact, everything is quite simple. Node, meteor, MongoDB, etc. combines one very important fact called "JavaScript". And the authors of such articles are united by a certain "love" for this fact.
