How can a store raw JSON in Mongo using Spring Boot

Question

I'd like to take HTTP PUT request with JSON and store it unmodified in Mongo. How can I do this? The best I have is this:

@RestController
public class ConfigurationController {

    @Autowired
    private MongoTemplate mongoTemplate;

    @RequestMapping
    public DBObject index() {
        return mongoTemplate.getCollection("foo").findOne();
    }

    @RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.PUT)
    ResponseEntity<?> add(@RequestBody DBObject object) {

        mongoTemplate.insert(object, "foo");

        return new ResponseEntity<>(null, HttpStatus.CREATED);
    }

}

In newer versions of Mongodb (mongo-java-driver 3.0+) the API uses org.bson.Document, so your solution should look like this:

@RestController
public class ConfigurationController {

   @Autowired
   private MongoTemplate mongoTemplate;

   @RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.PUT)
   ResponseEntity<?> add(@RequestBody String jsonString) {

       Document doc = Document.parse(jsonString)
       mongoTemplate.insert(doc, "foo");

       return new ResponseEntity<>(null, HttpStatus.CREATED);
   }

}
