AFAIK, Under the hood, mongoose uses mongoClient to connect to the server;

However, I can tell you few differences between these two connects;

  • mongoose returns promise, mongoclient returns null

  • mongoose connect is backed by an internal configurable connection pool

These are the 2 differences I can think top of my head right now, I am sure there are more other…
