How to reach subdata in MongoDB and display a particular document?

In order to reach subdata, you need to use key in MongoDB. Let us create a collection with documents −

>db.demo450.insertOne({"Information":{"StudentDetails":{"StudentName":"Chris","StudentAge":21}}}); {
   "acknowledged" : true,
   "insertedId" : ObjectId("5e7b590e71f552a0ebb0a6e6")
}
>db.demo450.insertOne({"Information":{"StudentDetails":{"StudentName":"David","StudentAge":23}}});{
   "acknowledged" : true,
   "insertedId" : ObjectId("5e7b591a71f552a0ebb0a6e7")
}
>db.demo450.insertOne({"Information":{"StudentDetails":{"StudentName":"Mike","StudentAge":22}}});{
   "acknowledged" : true,
   "insertedId" : ObjectId("5e7b592271f552a0ebb0a6e8")
}

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

> db.demo450.find();

This will produce the following output −

{ "_id" : ObjectId("5e7b590e71f552a0ebb0a6e6"), "Information" : { "StudentDetails" : {
"StudentName" : "Chris", "StudentAge" : 21 } } }
{ "_id" : ObjectId("5e7b591a71f552a0ebb0a6e7"), "Information" : { "StudentDetails" : {
"StudentName" : "David", "StudentAge" : 23 } } }
{ "_id" : ObjectId("5e7b592271f552a0ebb0a6e8"), "Information" : { "StudentDetails" : {
"StudentName" : "Mike", "StudentAge" : 22 } } }

Following is the query to reach subdata in MongoDB −

> db.demo450.find({"Information.StudentDetails.StudentName":"David"});

This will produce the following output −

{ "_id" : ObjectId("5e7b591a71f552a0ebb0a6e7"), "Information" : { "StudentDetails" : {
"StudentName" : "David", "StudentAge" : 23 } } }
