title: Mongo DB REST Option
body: <p>I know that one of the biggest differences between CouchDB and MongoDB is that Couch uses a REST interface. I've installed Mongo without any other libraries, and the mongod service provides a <code>--rest</code> command-line option.</p>
  
  <p>Does the MongoDB REST interface do the same thing as CouchDB's? If not then what's it for?</p>
