How can I directly insert JSON using Mongoose/MongoDB? - 【StackMirror】|javascript|json|mongodb|mongoose

It seems a bit convoluted to manually define a schema when I'm dealing with JSON all the time. Is there a way to convert JSON into BSON thereby relieving the developer of the need to manually define schemas each time?

Are you saying you just want to accept any sort of json data without having a model - Randall Hunt 2012-04-04 23:01

I'm saying that I would like the model to be automatically derived from the JSO - deltanovember 2012-04-04 23:25

The only thing out there in JS is this, and it's really just a proof of concept, not a reliable library. https://gist.github.com/107051 - Incognito 2012-04-04 23:33

My understanding is that mongoose was specifically developed for modelling. If you don't want to do modelling, you should use a mongodb driver/wrapper that doesn't require it, such as mongoskin or mongolia - Ivo Bosticky 2012-04-05 04:38

Simply update your mongoose schema to insert an object images: {type: Object}Donald Derek 2013-09-15 01:57

There is a tool mongoimport to do this

How did you solve it ? please can you explain - Back Packer 2017-06-08 10:21

Have you looked at node-mongodb-native[1]? It sounds like it might be a better fit for your needs since it doesn't require a predefined schema.
