Yes, PmWiki can potentially use anything for data storage, be it plain
text, JSON, XML and/or gzipped files or any database (SQLite, MySQL,
LDAP, etc.), or even thin air.
You only need to write a new class that extends the core PageStore class
and redefine the functions exists(), read(), write(), delete() and ls()
to return the page names and attributes in the format expected by PmWiki
(associative arrays).
Your PHP installation will probably require a set of MongoDB compatible
functions among:
http://php.net/manual/en/set.mongodb.php
http://php.net/manual/en/book.mongo.php
http://php.net/manual/en/class.mongoclient.php
You should also enable UTF-8 in PmWiki before you start: the PHP
functions to encode and decode JSON data are very unreliable if the data
is not valid UTF-8 (you get blank/empty values):

The following add-ons create and use a custom PageStore class, see if
they can inspire you:
http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/CompressedPageStore (gz)
http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/PageTopStore (2 copies)
http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/Phonebook (LDAP)
http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/SessionPageStore (thin air)
http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/SQLite (sqlite)
http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/XMLPageStore (xml)
The SQLite recipe page also shows how one would install in config.php
such a PageStore class with or without keeping any existing core PmWiki
or custom PageStore classes.

Is this something that could be doable, and if so, are their any
examples /
tutorial-esque documentation out there to help me get started?
