MongoDB queries are expressed as JSON (BSON
) objects. The following chart shows examples as both SQL and in Mongo Query Language syntax.
The query expression in MongoDB (and other things, such as index key
patterns) is represented as JSON (BSON). However, the actual verb
(e.g. "find") is done in one's regular programming language; thus the
exact forms of these verbs vary by language. The examples below are
Javascript and can be executed from the mongo shell
.
