This document provides an overview of ActiveRecord and Mongoid object document mappers for Ruby on Rails applications. It describes MongoDB as a scalable and high-performance NoSQL database without transactions or joins. It explains how Mongoid provides a similar API to ActiveRecord but is designed for MongoDB's schemaless and document-based data model. Various Mongoid associations like embeds_many and embedded_in are demonstrated through code examples. Additional MongoDB features through Mongoid like localization, GridFS for file storage, and hybrid ActiveRecord/Mongoid applications are also briefly covered.
