Querying documents

We can fetch documents by using the find method as follows:

• Selecting all documents in a collection: We can fetch all the documents from a collection like this:

> db.<collection>.find()

This operation is the same as the following SQL statement:

SELECT  FROM <table>

Let's fetch all the documents from the user collection as follows:

> db.user.find()

You should get a similar result to this:

{ "_id" : ObjectId("5ca..."), "name" : "Alexandre", "slug" :
 "alexandre", ... }
{ "_id" : ObjectId("5ca..."), "name" : "Pooya", "slug" : "pooya", ... }
{ "_id" : ObjectId("5ca..."), "name" : "Sébastien", "slug" : 
 "sebastien", ... }

• Specifying equality condition: We can fetch specific documents from a collection like this:

> db.<collection>.find(<query&gt...
