Syntax error Accessing inner element of JSON array in MongoDB?

Accessing inner element of JSON array in MongoDB?



To access inner element of JSON array in MongoDB, use dot notation. Let us create a collection with documents −

> db.demo687.insert({CountryName:'US',
... info:
... {
... id:101,
... details:
... [
... {
...    Name:'Chris',
...    SubjectName:'MongoDB',
...    otherDetails:{
...       "Marks":58,
...       Age:23
...    }
... }
... ]
... }
... }
... )
WriteResult({ "nInserted" : 1 })
> db.demo687.insert({CountryName:'UK',
... info:
... {
... id:102,
... details:
... [
... {
...    Name:'David',
...    SubjectName:'MySQL',
...    otherDetails:{
...       "Marks":78,
...       Age:21
...    }
... }
... ]
... }
... }
... )
WriteResult({ "nInserted" : 1 })

Display all documents from a collection with the help of find() method −

> db.demo687.find();

This will produce the following output −

{ "_id" : ObjectId("5ea55658a7e81adc6a0b3962"), "CountryName" : "US", "info" : { "id" : 101, "details" : [ { "Name" : "Chris", "SubjectName" : "MongoDB", "otherDetails" : { "Marks" : 58, "Age" : 23 } } ] } }
{ "_id" : ObjectId("5ea55673a7e81adc6a0b3963"), "CountryName" : "UK", "info" : { "id" : 102, "details" : [ { "Name" : "David", "SubjectName" : "MySQL", "otherDetails" : { "Marks" : 78, "Age" : 21 } } ] } }

Following is the query to access inner element of JSON array −

> db.demo687.find({"info.details.otherDetails.Marks":58});

This will produce the following output −

{ "_id" : ObjectId("5ea55658a7e81adc6a0b3962"), "CountryName" : "US", "info" : { "id" : 101, "details" : [ { "Name" : "Chris", "SubjectName" : "MongoDB", "otherDetails" : { "Marks" : 58, "Age" : 23 } } ] } }
