Query Matching Techniques
Overview of Array Query Methods
MongoDB provides multiple techniques for matching arrays with precision and flexibility. Understanding these methods is crucial for effective data retrieval.
Exact Array Matching Techniques
1. $eq Operator for Exact Match
## Exact array match
db.collection.find({
tags: {$eq: ["developer", "programmer"]}
})
2. Direct Array Comparison
## Strict array comparison
db.users.find({
skills: ["Python", "MongoDB", "Docker"]
})

Complex Query Examples
## Ubuntu 22.04 MongoDB Query
mongo
> db.projects.find({
technologies: {
$all: ["MongoDB", "React"],
$elemMatch: {$regex: /cloud/}
}
})
