MongoDB/Java

Make sure you get the mongodb-java-driver jar, which contains all supplemental classes, and not the mongodb-driver jar, which does not.

Components

Test data:

{
	"database" : "mkyongDB",
	"table" : "hosting",
	"detail" : 
		{
			records : 99,
			index : "vps_index1",
			active : "true"
		}
	}
}

BasicDB object:

	BasicDBObject document = new BasicDBObject();
	document.put("database", "mkyongDB");
	document.put("table", "hosting");

	BasicDBObject documentDetail = new BasicDBObject();
	documentDetail.put("records", 99);
	documentDetail.put("index", "vps_index1");
	documentDetail.put("active", "true");
	
	document.put("detail", documentDetail);

	collection.insert(document);

BasicDBObjectBuilder example:

	BasicDBObjectBuilder documentBuilder = BasicDBObjectBuilder.start()
		.add("database", "mkyongDB")
		.add("table", "hosting");
		
	BasicDBObjectBuilder documentBuilderDetail = BasicDBObjectBuilder.start()
	.add("records", 99)
	.add("index", "vps_index1")
	.add("active", "true");
	
	documentBuilder.add("detail", documentBuilderDetail.get());
	
	collection.insert(documentBuilder.get());

To insert a Map object into a database:

	Map<String, Object> documentMap = new HashMap<String, Object>();
	documentMap.put("database", "mkyongDB");
	documentMap.put("table", "hosting");
		
	Map<String, Object> documentMapDetail = new HashMap<String, Object>();
	documentMapDetail.put("records", 99);
	documentMapDetail.put("index", "vps_index1");
	documentMapDetail.put("active", "true");
	
	documentMap.put("detail", documentMapDetail);
	
	collection.insert(new BasicDBObject(documentMap));

To parse JSON in a String in Java:

	String json = "{'database' : 'mkyongDB','table' : 'hosting'," +
	  "'detail' : {'records' : 99, 'index' : 'vps_index1', 'active' : 'true'}}}";

	DBObject dbObject = (DBObject)JSON.parse(json);
			
	collection.insert(dbObject);
