MongoDB Getting started with MongoDB Hello World
Example
After installation process, the following lines should be entered in mongo shell (client terminal).
> db.world.insert({ "speech" : "Hello World!" });
> cur = db.world.find();x=cur.next();print(x["speech"]);
Hello World!
Explanation:
- In the first line, we have inserted a
{ key : value }paired document in the default databasetestand in the collection namedworld. - In the second line we retrieve the data we have just inserted. The retrieved data is kept in a javascript variable named
cur. Then by thenext()function, we retrieved the first and only document and kept it in another js variable namedx. Then printed the value of the document providing the key.
