Testing your document structure for inconsistencies within MongoDB - Part II

In a previous post we looked at how to validate your collection for structural consistency. We did this by creating a DBObject with the 'template' document structure and comparing this against the relevant collection. Testing your document structure for inconsistencies within MongoDB
Now, it's not exactly a leap of faith to extend that and rather than code the template we can define this in a json document. Now all we need to do it to pass the json document and the collection name as parameters saving a recompile for each and every test. Happy days.

	"subNameOne" : "subValueOne" ,
	"subNameTwo" : "subValueTwo"} ,
	"array" : [
	{ "arraySubNameOne" : "arraySubValueOne"} ,
	{ "arraySubNameTwo" : "arraySubValueTwo"}
	]
