MongoDB is a NoSQL , document-oriented database that supports JSON-like documents with a dynamic schema.

​
Overview

The MongoDB Document Loader returns a list of LangChain Documents from a MongoDB database. The Loader requires the following parameters:
  • MongoDB connection string
  • MongoDB database name
  • MongoDB collection name
  • (Optional) Content Filter dictionary
  • (Optional) List of field names to include in the output
The output takes the following format:
  • pageContent= Mongo Document
  • metadata={‘database’: ‘[database_name]’, ‘collection’: ‘[collection_name]‘}
