Should i use MongoTemplate or DBCollection when query data

Question

[Java Spring] At the moment, I'm using MongoTemplate to query data

1. MongoTemplate --> return List

   mongoTemplate.find(query, entity)

2. DbCollection --> return DbCursor

   dbCollection.find()

Then what should i use to best way

Answer 1

since your application is a spring application i would suggest to stick with mongotemplate as it is springframework provided class and can go along well with other spring features. whereas DBcollection is a class from mongo API for java and there might be some cases where you have to play around to get your stuff done.
