Difference with SQL databases

The main difference with the other SQL databases is that your IDs are handled as string and are stored in ObjectID instead of long.

Also, some classes are replaced in order to support MongoDB :

BaseEntity => MongoBaseEntity
GenericRepository => MongoGenericRepository
ReadOnlyGenericRepository => MongoReadOnlyGenericRepository
FluentRepository => NoSqlFluentRepository
