MongoDB Java Reactive Streams Driver
On this page
Introduction
Welcome to the documentation site for the MongoDB Java Reactive Streams Driver, the official driver for asynchronous Java applications. Download the driver by following the Installation guide, then set up a runnable project by following one of the tutorials.
If you need to make synchronous calls between your application and MongoDB, use the MongoDB Java Driver instead of the Java Reactive Streams driver.
Compatibility
MongoDB Compatibility
The following compatibility table specifies the recommended version or versions of the MongoDB Reactive Streams driver for use with a specific version of MongoDB.
The first column lists the driver version.
Important
MongoDB ensures compatibility between the MongoDB Server and the drivers for three years after the server version's end of life (EOL) date. To learn more about the MongoDB release and EOL dates, see MongoDB Software Lifecycle Schedules.
