+
+Iridium is designed to offer a high performance, easy to use and above all, editor friendly ODM for MongoDB on Node.js.
+Rather than adopting the "re-implement everything" approach often favoured by ODMs like Mongoose and friends, requiring
+you to learn an entirely new API and locking you into a specific coding style, Iridium tries to offer an incredibly
+lightweight implementation which makes your life easier where it counts and gets out of your way when you want to do
+anything more complex.
