Well, yes, Object-Relational mappers are redundant with MongoDB because MongoDB isn’t a relational database, it’s a Document-Oriented database.
So instead of SQL, you write queries in JSON. Unless you really, really want to write raw JSON, as opposed to, say, Linq, then you’re still going to want to use a mapper. And if you don’t want to create coupling against MongoDB itself, then you don’t want to pass actual Document
objects around, you want to map them to real POCOs.
The mapping is much easier with a document-oriented DB like MongoDB, because you have nested documents instead of relations, but that doesn’t mean it goes away completely. It just means you’ve substituted one type of “impedance mismatch” for a different, slightly-less-dramatic mismatch.
