Since it was said during the course that JSON can’t support date format directly, then how does it support it.
Hi @Rohit_17953,
Yes, that’s correct. JSON does not directly support the date format and it stores it as String.
However, as you have learned by now that mongo shell is a JavaScript interpreter and so in order to represent dates in JavaScript, JSON uses a specific string format ISODate to encode dates as string.
If you want to know more about it then I would recommend you to read about Data Types in the mongo
Shell and MongoDB Extended JSON (v1).
Hope it helps
However, if you still have any questions, do not hesitate to reach out to us.

Hi @Shubham_Ranjan,
I am so sorry about raping this forum, but unfortunately it does not look possible to write you via some private message. I was wondering what does your “MongoDB Staff: Curriculum Support Engineer” title mean? Is there any support program from MongoDB to prove/have some working experience with MongoDB? In case of yes is there any info about it?
Thank you
Vaclav
