Why does Garry's Mod need a MongoDB module? Because MongoDB is a NoSQL database.MySQL is designed for static schemas and performs best with complex queries.
Typically, the data stored by Garry's Mod servers is extremely dynamicand the queries performed are very simple. This makes MySQL a pain.
With MongoDB you don't have to worry about schemas at all! Just writeand query whatever data you want!
Download a pre-built binary for your system from theReleases section.
