mongodbHow to get all documents in MongoDB?

To get all documents in MongoDB, you can use the find() method. This method returns a cursor object which can be iterated over to get all documents in a collection.

Example code

db.collection.find()

Output example

{ "_id" : ObjectId("5f3d7f9f8f9f8f9f8f9f8f9f"), "name" : "John", "age" : 25 }
{ "_id" : ObjectId("5f3d7f9f8f9f8f9f8f9f8f9f"), "name" : "Jane", "age" : 30 }

Code explanation

• db.collection.find(): This is the syntax for the find() method. It takes an optional parameter which is a query object to filter the documents.
• ObjectId("5f3d7f9f8f9f8f9f8f9f8f9f"): This is the unique identifier for each document in MongoDB.
