Asynchronous Python ODM for MongoDB

Beanie - is an Asynchronous Python object-document mapper (ODM) for MongoDB, based on Motor and Pydantic.

When using Beanie each database collection has a corresponding Document that is used to interact with that collection. In addition to retrieving data, Beanie allows you to add, update, or delete documents from the collection as well.

Beanie saves you time by removing boiler-plate code and it helps you focus on the parts of your app that actually matter.

Data and schema migrations are supported by Beanie out of the box.
