Error on .any() field: "Document is too nested"
Hi. I have an
.any() field on an object in my Schema. The documentation doesn't mention any limitations.
I have JSON objects which are apparently deeply nested. I'm unable to insert one such object, getting the following error: ... isn't a valid document: Document is too nested (nested 18 levels deep > maximum nesting 16)
Must I really re-architecture my JSON document representation to always be inferior or equal to 16 levels, or should I just stringify the JSON and store the document as a string, or something else?
Thank you4 Replies

Recommend stringifying the deeply nested objects if possible.
Sounds good. That's the path I took anyway in the mean time. 👍
Might be handy to mention in the docs just in case. I could imagine people using .any then over time their JSON might evolve (or some recursive case might make it too deep) and they'd have to do a migration.
Yeah, agree good feedback
