Mongodb Data Types - MongoDB Tutorial

Mongodb Data Types

MongoDB stores documents on disk in the BSON (Binary Structured Object Notation) serialization format.
BSON is a binary representation of JSON documents, though BSON data format provides more data types than JSON.
The mongo JavaScript shell and the MongoDB language drivers translate between BSON and the language-specific document representation.

MongoDB Data Types and Corresponding ID Number

Type	Description	Alias	ID
Double	Represents a float value	“double”	1
String	BSON strings are UTF-8. The language’s string format to UTF-8 when serializing and deserializing BSON. This makes it possible to store most international characters in BSON strings with ease. In addition, MongoDB $regex queries support UTF-8 in the regex string.	“string”	2
Object	Objects represents an embedded document.	“object”	3
Array	Sets or lists of values can be represented as arrays.	“array”	4
Binary data	Binary data is a string of arbitrary bytes; it cannot be manipulated from the shell.	“binData”	5
Object id	Object ID is an identifier of the document and equivalent to a Primary key. Object Id are: Small Likely unique Fast to generate, and ordered.These values consist of 12-bytes Where the first four bytes are a timestamp. That reflect the ObjectId’s creation.	“objectId”	7
Boolean	A logical true or false. Use to evaluate whether a condition is true or false	“bool”	8
Date	BSON Date is a 64-bit integer that represents the number of milliseconds.	“date”	9
Null	It represents both a null value and a nonexistent field.	“null”	10
Regular Expression	RegExp maps directly to a Javascript RegExp	“regex”	11
JavaScript		“javascript”	13
Symbol	Not supported by the shell. If the shell gets a symbol from the database, it will convert it into a string.	“symbol”	14
JavaScript (with scope)		“javascript WithScope”	15
32-bit integer	Numbers without decimal points will be saved as 32-bit integers.	“int”	16
Timestamp	BSON has a special timestamp type for internal MongoDB use and is not associated with the regular Date type. Timestamp values are a 64 bit value where: The first 32 bits are a time_t value (seconds since the Unix epoch). The second 32 bits are an incrementing ordinalfor operations within a given second.	“int”	16
64-bit integer	Numbers without a decimal point will be saved and returned as 64-bit integers.	“long”	18
Min key	MinKey compare less than all other possible BSON element values, respectively, and exist primarily for internal use.	“minKey”	255
Max key	MaxKey compare greater than all other possible BSON element values, respectively, and exist primarily for internal use.	“maxKey”	127

Comparing values of different BSON types

When comparing values of different BSON types, MongoDB uses the following comparison order, from lowest to highest :

Order	Data Types
1	MinKey (internal type)
2	Null
3	Numbers (ints, longs, doubles)
4	Symbol, String
5	Object
6	Array
7	BinData
8	ObjectId
9	Boolean
10	Date, Timestamp
11	Regular Expression
