Hi Drashti,

The MongoDB Java driver (and all MongoDB drivers) actually send data to the server in BSON format. BSON (short for "Binary JSON") is a JSON-like serialization that supports further data types that are not part of the JSON spec (see: http://bsonspec.org). There is no strict requirement to use JSON for your source data.

With the Java 3.0 driver there is a Document class you can use to insert new documents into your database. There are helper methods for parsing document data from (and to) JSON strings, but you can also populate keys/values using data you've parsed from another format.

For some examples and usage see:

 - http://api.mongodb.org/java/3.0/?org/bson/Document.html
