I have already written a post to use Spring Data JPA in a Spring Boot Web application. The Spring Data MongoDB starter dependency brings in the required infrastructure, the MongoDB driver, and few other dependencies to the project.īoth Spring Data JPA and Spring Data MongoDB share a common infrastructure. Notice that we haven’t included Spring Data JPA. pom.xml //Ĥ.0.0 guru.springframework blogposts 0.0.1-SNAPSHOT jar Blog Posts Misc Blog Posts spring-boot-starter-parent 1.4.4.RELEASE UTF-8 1.8 spring-boot-starter spring-boot-starter-data-mongodb spring-boot-starter-test test spring-boot-maven-plugin To use MongoDB in a Spring Boot project, we need to add the Spring Data MongoDB starter dependency, spring-boot-starter-data-mongodb . With Spring Data for MongoDB, you get a familiar and consistent Spring-based programming model to work with MongoDB while retaining MongoDB store-specific features and capabilities. Spring Data for MongoDB is part of the umbrella Spring Data project. Checkout my Spring Framework 5: Beginner to Guru online course! MongoDB Dependencies

Refer to the MongoDB guide for an explanation on how to install and start up a MongoDB instance. You have several options for running MongoDB. A great place to learn more about MongoDB is here.įor this post, I’m using MongoDB installed locally on my laptop. In today’s competitive business environment where Agile practices are embraced, having a dynamic schema gives you a high degree of flexibility. You can insert data without a pre-defined schema – a thing not possible with traditional relational databases. One feature worth mentioning about MongoDB is its dynamic schema. Internally, MongoDB represents JSON documents in binary-encoded format called BSON. MongoDB uses JSON documents to store records. MongoDB is a leading document-based NoSQL database. Originally, it stood for “Non SQL”, but gradually with the adoption of Polyglot Persistence which Martin Flower beautifully describes here, NoSQL is now commonly referred as “Not Only SQL”.

Even the term NoSQL have multiple meanings. NoSQL storage is a vast domain with a plethora of solutions and patterns.

In this post, I’ll discuss how to use MongoDB with a Spring Boot application. MongoDB has rapidly gained popularity in the enterprise and the Spring community. Recently, we’ve seen a rise in popularity of NoSQL databases. I have already written few posts to configure Spring Boot to use Oracle, MySQL, and PostgreSQL – all RDBMS widely used in the enterprise. Spring Data project provides integration for most of the popular databases around.
