What is the best way to validate data in mongo?

Question

What\'s the best way to validate data being inserted or updated into MongoDB? Is it to write some sort of server executed Javascript code that does the validation?

Answer 1

Starting in 2.4, MongoDB enables basic BSON object validation for mongod and mongorestore when writing to MongoDB data files. This prevents any client from inserting invalid or malformed BSON into a MongoDB database. source: http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/release-notes/2.4/
