WordPress with MongoDb to store JSON data


To integrate WordPress with MongoDB to store JSON data, you can use various approaches depending on your specific requirements. Here are a few methods:

1. Using Meteor.js and the WordPress JSON API

You can use the Meteor.js framework and the WordPress JSON API to fetch JSON data from WordPress and store it in a MongoDB collection. Here's a basic example:

javascript
// Server-side code
Meteor.startup(() => {
  Meteor.setInterval(() => {
    const url = 'https://my-wordpress-site/?json=get_posts&count=10';
    const headers = {
      'Content-Type': 'application/json',
    };
    const result = HTTP.get(url, headers);
    if (result.data) {
      result.data.forEach((doc) => {
        MyCollection.insert(doc);
      });
    }
  }, 1000);
});

// Client-side code
Meteor.subscribe('wpPost');

2. Using N8N for Low-Code Integration

N8N is a low-code integration platform that allows you to integrate MongoDB with WordPress. You can create a workflow that extracts data from WordPress, transforms it, and loads it into MongoDB. Here's a basic example:

javascript
// N8N Workflow
// Trigger: WordPress
// Action: MongoDB
// Node: HTTP Request
// URL: https://my-wordpress-site/?json=get_posts&count=10
// Method: GET
// Headers: Content-Type: application/json
// Node: MongoDB
// Collection: MyCollection
// Operation: Insert

3. Using CData Sync for No-Code Integration

CData Sync is a no-code integration tool that allows you to integrate WordPress with MongoDB. You can create a data pipeline that replicates data from WordPress to MongoDB. Here's a basic example:

javascript
// CData Sync Workflow
// Trigger: WordPress
// Action: MongoDB
// Node: HTTP Request
// URL: https://my-wordpress-site/?json=get_posts&count=10
// Method: GET
// Headers: Content-Type: application/json
// Node: MongoDB
// Collection: MyCollection
// Operation: Insert

4. Using Node.js and Mongoose for Efficient Storage

You can use Node.js and Mongoose to efficiently store large JSON files in MongoDB. Here's a basic example:

javascript
// Node.js and Mongoose
const fs = require('fs');
const mongoose = require('mongoose');
const JSONStream = require('JSONStream');

const User = require('./models/User');

mongoose.connect('mongodb://127.0.0.1/dextra');

const dataStreamFromFile = fs.createReadStream(`${__dirname}/largeUsers.json`);
dataStreamFromFile.pipe(JSONStream.parse('*')).on('data', (chunk) => {
  new User(chunk).save();
});

These approaches can help you integrate WordPress with MongoDB to store JSON data efficiently.
