I'm completing a Java project in Eclipse as part of my university assignment. One of the requirements of the project is to write data to a text file and read it back in, in another class. I've decided, however, to use MongoDB rather than text files.
The format of the data looks like this:
When I read the data back in from Mongo I use the following code:
MongoClientURI connectionString = new MongoClientURI("<My connection string>");
MongoClient mongoClient = new MongoClient(connectionString);
MongoDatabase database = mongoClient.getDatabase("Timeline");
MongoCollection<Document> collection = database.getCollection("HistoricalFigure");
MongoCursor<Document> cursor = collection.find().iterator();
try {
while (cursor.hasNext()) {
system.out.println(cursor.next().toJson());
}
} finally {
cursor.close();
}
This works great and prints the following from my Mongo collection:
(Ignore the data - Just chucked it in randomly)
I know similar questions have been asked in the past about removing _id fields from the results and so on - So apologies for that - But unfortunately, I haven't been able to apply these examples to my own code as they do vary quite a bit.
What I would like to achieve from this is to print to the console just the value of Historical Figure so that it prints this:
If anybody could assist I would really appreciate it - I assume the answer will lie somewhere within the collection.find() but I'm just unsure how.
Many thanks, George
