MongoDB's find() method returns a cursor object which can be iterated using while, hasNext() and next, or by using forEach().
Iterating countries in South America stored in the 'world' collection.
let cursor = db.world.find({continent: "South America"});
while (cursor.hasNext()) {
printjson(cursor.next());
}
<nowiki>
let cursor = db.world.find({continent: "South America"});
cursor.forEach(printjson);
</nowiki>
Cursors can also be converted to other JavaScript collection types, such as arrays.
In the following example an array is used to find the nth record in a result as an alternative to .find().skip(n).limit(1)
Find the 3rd result of the previous example.
db.world.find({continent:"South America"}).toArray()[3]
