How to store Shapes in Mongo DB

Question

I want to create a database using mongoDb and I am new to this area. And also want to Insert and select data to store shapes like circle, triangle, etc. I want to know how to do it.

Answer 1

Assuming you are referring to storing shapes for geospatial queries, you can use the new support for GeoJSON objects in MongoDB 2.4 to store and query Point, LineString, and Polygon objects.

For more information see:

• MongoDB 2.4 manual: Geospatial Indexes and Queries and Geospatial Query Compatibility Chart
• The GeoJSON 1.0 spec
