ExpressJS session storage backed by MongoDB or Redis. Version 1.0.6 is the latest stable release. This package provides a drop-in session store for Express 3.x/4.x, allowing developers to persist session data in MongoDB (via Mongoose) or Redis. It supports optional host, port, database, collection, and expiry configuration. Minimal peer dependencies: Mongoose for MongoDB, redis client for Redis. No longer actively maintained; consider using connect-mongo or connect-redis instead.
