# Spring Data MongoDB 2.1 - Schema & Validation Example
MongoDB (as of version 3.2) supports validating documents against a given structure described by a query.
```json
{
"name" : {
"$exists" : true,
"$ne" : null,
"$type" : 2
},
"age" : {
"$exists" : true,
"$ne" : null,
"$type" : 16,
"$gte" : 0,
"$lte" : 125
}
}
```
The structure can be built from `Criteria` objects in the same way as they are used for defining queries.
```java
Validator.criteria(where("name").exists(true).ne(null).type(2)
.and("age").exists(true).ne(null).type(16).gte(0).lte(125));
```
MongoDB 3.6 supports collections that validate documents against a provided [JSON Schema](https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/core/schema-validation/#json-schema) that
complies with the JSON schema specification (draft 4).
```json
{
"type": "object",
"required": [ "name", "age" ],
"properties": {
"name": {
"type": "string",
"minLength": 1
},
"age": {
"type": "int",
"minimum" : 0,
"exclusiveMinimum" : false,
"maximum" : 125,
"exclusiveMaximum" : false
}
}
}
```
The `MongoJsonSchema` and its builder allow fluent schema definition via the Java API.
```java
MongoJsonSchema schema = MongoJsonSchema.builder() //
.required("name", "age") //
.properties( //
string("name").minLength(1), //
int32("age").gte(0).lte(125) //
).build();
```
The schema can be used for various funcitionality: Set up `Document` validation for a collection:
```java
template.createCollection(Jedi.class, CollectionOptions.empty().validator(Validator.schema(schema)));
```
and to query the store for documents matching a given blueprint:
```java
template.find(query(matchingDocumentStructure(schema)), Jedi.class);
```
