Comparison

For comparison of different BSON type values, see the specifiedBSON comparison order.

NameDescription

$gteMatches values that are greater than or equal to a specified value.
$inMatches any of the values specified in an array.
$ltMatches values that are less than a specified value.
$lteMatches values that are less than or equal to a specified value.
$neMatches all values that are not equal to a specified value.
$ninMatches none of the values specified in an array.

Logical

NameDescription
$andJoins query clauses with a logical AND returns all documents that match the conditions of both clauses.
$notInverts the effect of a query expression and returns documents that do not match the query expression.
$norJoins query clauses with a logical NOR returns all documents that fail to match both clauses.
$orJoins query clauses with a logical OR returns all documents that match the conditions of either clause.

Element

NameDescription
$existsMatches documents that have the specified field.
$typeSelects documents if a field is of the specified type.

Evaluation

NameDescription
$exprAllows use of aggregation expressions within the query language.

$nearReturns geospatial objects in proximity to a point.Requires a geospatial index. The 2dsphere and 2d indexes support$near.
$nearSphereReturns geospatial objects in proximity to a point on a sphere.Requires a geospatial index. The 2dsphere and 2d indexes support$nearSphere.

Array

NameDescription
$allMatches arrays that contain all elements specified in the query.
$elemMatchSelects documents if element in the array field matches all the specified $elemMatch conditions.
$sizeSelects documents if the array field is a specified size.

Bitwise

NameDescription
$bitsAllClearMatches numeric or binary values in which a set of bit positions all have a value of 0.
$bitsAllSetMatches numeric or binary values in which a set of bit positions all have a value of 1.
$bitsAnyClearMatches numeric or binary values in which any bit from a set of bit positions has a value of 0.
$bitsAnySetMatches numeric or binary values in which any bit from a set of bit positions has a value of 1.

Comments

NameDescription
$commentAdds a comment to a query predicate.

Projection Operators

NameDescription
$Projects the first element in an array that matches the query condition.
$elemMatchProjects the first element in an array that matches the specified $elemMatch condition.
$metaProjects the document’s score assigned during $text operation.
$sliceLimits the number of elements projected from an array. Supports skip and limit slices.
