title: Do you need JPA when using MongoDB?
body: <p>I'm quite confused between those two. I'm looking at the Play! java framework and it says it uses JPA. I'm thinking about using Play! and MongoDB for the first time in a project. I've used JPA before, but I was using it back then to write to a relational database(mysql).</p>
  
  <p>MongoDB is not a relational database, so if I want to use it with Play!, will I still be needing JPA? Or just the MongoDB driver?</p>
  
  <p>I think I'm confusing quite a few things here, so if someone could help clarify things, I'd appreciate it!</p>
