Using the MongoDB Client

MongoDB is a well known NoSQL Database that is widely used.

In this guide, we see how you can get your REST services to use the MongoDB database.

Prerequisites

To complete this guide, you need:

  • Roughly 15 minutes

  • An IDE

  • JDK 17+ installed with JAVA_HOME configured appropriately

  • Apache Maven 3.9.6

  • Optionally the Quarkus CLI if you want to use it

  • Optionally Mandrel or GraalVM installed and configured appropriately if you want to build a native executable (or Docker if you use a native container build)

  • MongoDB installed or Docker installed

Architecture

The application built in this guide is quite simple: the user can add elements in a list using a form and the list is updated.

All the information between the browser and the server is formatted as JSON.

The elements are stored in MongoDB.

Solution

We recommend that you follow the instructions in the next sections and create the application step by step. However, you can go right to the completed example.

Clone the Git repository: git clone https://github.com/quarkusio/quarkus-quickstarts.git, or download an archive.

The solution is located in the mongodb-quickstart directory.

Creating the Maven project

First, we need a new project. Create a new project with the following command:

CLI
quarkus create app org.acme:mongodb-quickstart \
    --extension='rest-jackson,mongodb-client' \
    --no-code
cd mongodb-quickstart

To create a Gradle project, add the --gradle or --gradle-kotlin-dsl option.

For more information about how to install and use the Quarkus CLI, see the Quarkus CLI guide.

Maven
mvn io.quarkus.platform:quarkus-maven-plugin:3.9.1:create \
    -DprojectGroupId=org.acme \
    -DprojectArtifactId=mongodb-quickstart \
    -Dextensions='rest-jackson,mongodb-client' \
    -DnoCode
cd mongodb-quickstart

To create a Gradle project, add the -DbuildTool=gradle or -DbuildTool=gradle-kotlin-dsl option.

For Windows users:

  • If using cmd, (don’t use backward slash \ and put everything on the same line)

  • If using Powershell, wrap -D parameters in double quotes e.g. "-DprojectArtifactId=mongodb-quickstart"

This command generates a Maven structure importing the Quarkus REST (formerly RESTEasy Reactive) Jackson and MongoDB Client extensions. After this, the quarkus-mongodb-client extension has been added to your build file.

If you already have your Quarkus project configured, you can add the mongodb-client extension to your project by running the following command in your project base directory:

CLI
quarkus extension add mongodb-client
Maven
./mvnw quarkus:add-extension -Dextensions='mongodb-client'
Gradle
./gradlew addExtension --extensions='mongodb-client'

This will add the following to your pom.xml:

pom.xml
<dependency>
    <groupId>io.quarkus</groupId>
    <artifactId>quarkus-mongodb-client</artifactId>
</dependency>
build.gradle
implementation("io.quarkus:quarkus-mongodb-client")

Creating your first JSON REST service

In this example, we will create an application to manage a list of fruits.

First, let’s create the Fruit bean as follows:

package org.acme.mongodb;

import java.util.Objects;

public class Fruit {

    private String name;
    private String description;
    private String id;

    public Fruit() {
    }

    public Fruit(String name, String description) {
        this.name = name;
        this.description = description;
    }

    public String getName() {
        return name;
    }

    public void setName(String name) {
        this.name = name;
    }

    public String getDescription() {
        return description;
    }

    public void setDescription(String description) {
        this.description = description;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean equals(Object obj) {
        if (!(obj instanceof Fruit)) {
            return false;
        }

        Fruit other = (Fruit) obj;

        return Objects.equals(other.name, this.name);
    }

    @Override
    public int hashCode() {
        return Objects.hash(this.name);
    }

    public void setId(String id) {
        this.id = id;
    }

    public String getId() {
        return id;
    }
}

Nothing fancy. One important thing to note is that having a default constructor is required by the JSON serialization layer.

Now create a org.acme.mongodb.FruitService that will be the business layer of our application and store/load the fruits from the mongoDB database.

package org.acme.mongodb;

import com.mongodb.client.MongoClient;
import com.mongodb.client.MongoCollection;
import com.mongodb.client.MongoCursor;
import org.bson.Document;

import jakarta.enterprise.context.ApplicationScoped;
import jakarta.inject.Inject;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;

@ApplicationScoped
public class FruitService {

    @Inject MongoClient mongoClient;

    public List<Fruit> list(){
        List<Fruit> list = new ArrayList<>();
        MongoCursor<Document> cursor = getCollection().find().iterator();

        try {
            while (cursor.hasNext()) {
                Document document = cursor.next();
                Fruit fruit = new Fruit();
                fruit.setName(document.getString("name"));
                fruit.setDescription(document.getString("description"));
                list.add(fruit);
            }
        } finally {
            cursor.close();
        }
        return list;
    }

    public void add(Fruit fruit){
        Document document = new Document()
                .append("name", fruit.getName())
                .append("description", fruit.getDescription());
        getCollection().insertOne(document);
    }

    private MongoCollection getCollection(){
        return mongoClient.getDatabase("fruit").getCollection("fruit");
    }
}

Now, create the org.acme.mongodb.FruitResource class as follows:

@Path("/fruits")
public class FruitResource {

    @Inject FruitService fruitService;

    @GET
    public List<Fruit> list() {
        return fruitService.list();
    }

    @POST
    public List<Fruit> add(Fruit fruit) {
        fruitService.add(fruit);
        return list();
    }
}

The implementation is pretty straightforward, and you just need to define your endpoints using the Jakarta REST annotations and use the FruitService to list/add new fruits.

Configuring the MongoDB database

The main property to configure is the URL to access to MongoDB. Almost all configuration can be included in the connection URI, so we advise you to do so. You can find more information in the MongoDB documentation: https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/connection-string/

A sample configuration should look like this:

# configure the mongoDB client for a replica set of two nodes
quarkus.mongodb.connection-string = mongodb://mongo1:27017,mongo2:27017

In this example, we are using a single instance running on localhost:

# configure the mongoDB client for a single instance on localhost
quarkus.mongodb.connection-string = mongodb://localhost:27017

If you need more configuration properties, there is a full list at the end of this guide.

By default, Quarkus will restrict the use of JNDI within an application, as a precaution to try and mitigate any future vulnerabilities similar to Log4Shell. Because the mongo+srv protocol often used to connect to MongoDB requires JNDI, this protection is automatically disabled when using the MongoDB client extension.

Dev Services (Configuration Free Databases)

Quarkus supports a feature called Dev Services that allows you to create various datasources without any config. In the case of MongoDB this support extends to the default MongoDB connection. What that means practically, is that if you have not configured quarkus.mongodb.connection-string, Quarkus will automatically start a MongoDB container when running tests or in dev mode, and automatically configure the connection.

MongoDB Dev Services is based on Testcontainers MongoDB module that will start a single node replicaset.

When running the production version of the application, the MongoDB connection need to be configured as normal, so if you want to include a production database config in your application.properties and continue to use Dev Services we recommend that you use the %prod. profile to define your MongoDB settings.

Configuration property fixed at build time - All other configuration properties are overridable at runtime

Multiple MongoDB Clients

MongoDB allows you to configure multiple clients. Using several clients works the same way as having a single client.

quarkus.mongodb.connection-string = mongodb://login:pass@mongo1:27017/database

quarkus.mongodb.users.connection-string = mongodb://mongo2:27017/userdb
quarkus.mongodb.inventory.connection-string = mongodb://mongo3:27017/invdb,mongo4:27017/invdb

Notice there’s an extra bit in the key (the users and inventory segments). The syntax is as follows: quarkus.mongodb.[optional name.][mongo connection property]. If the name is omitted, it configures the default client.

The use of multiple MongoDB clients enables multi-tenancy for MongoDB by allowing to connect to multiple MongoDB clusters.
If you want to connect to multiple databases inside the same cluster, multiple clients are not necessary as a single client is able to access all databases in the same cluster (as a JDBC connection is able to access to multiple schemas inside the same database).

Named Mongo client Injection

When using multiple clients, each MongoClient, you can select the client to inject using the io.quarkus.mongodb.MongoClientName qualifier. Using the above properties to configure three different clients, you can also inject each one as follows:

@Inject
MongoClient defaultMongoClient;

@Inject
@MongoClientName("users")
MongoClient mongoClient1;

@Inject
@MongoClientName("inventory")
ReactiveMongoClient mongoClient2;

Running a MongoDB Database

As by default, MongoClient is configured to access a local MongoDB database on port 27017 (the default MongoDB port), if you have a local running database on this port, there is nothing more to do before being able to test it!

If you want to use Docker to run a MongoDB database, you can use the following command to launch one:

docker run -ti --rm -p 27017:27017 mongo:4.4

If you use Dev Services, launching the container manually is not necessary.

Creating a frontend

Now let’s add a simple web page to interact with our FruitResource. Quarkus automatically serves static resources located under the META-INF/resources directory. In the src/main/resources/META-INF/resources directory, add a fruits.html file with the content from this fruits.html file in it.

You can now interact with your REST service:

  • start Quarkus with:

    CLI
    quarkus dev
    Maven
    ./mvnw quarkus:dev
    Gradle
    ./gradlew --console=plain quarkusDev
  • open a browser to http://localhost:8080/fruits.html

  • add new fruits to the list via the form

Reactive MongoDB Client

A reactive MongoDB Client is included in Quarkus. Using it is as easy as using the classic MongoDB Client. You can rewrite the previous example to use it like the following.

Mutiny

The MongoDB reactive client uses Mutiny reactive types. If you are not familiar with Mutiny, check Mutiny - an intuitive reactive programming library.

package org.acme.mongodb;

import io.quarkus.mongodb.reactive.ReactiveMongoClient;
import io.quarkus.mongodb.reactive.ReactiveMongoCollection;
import io.smallrye.mutiny.Uni;
import org.bson.Document;

import jakarta.enterprise.context.ApplicationScoped;
import jakarta.inject.Inject;
import java.util.List;

@ApplicationScoped
public class ReactiveFruitService {

    @Inject
    ReactiveMongoClient mongoClient;

    public Uni<List<Fruit>> list() {
        return getCollection().find()
                .map(doc -> {
                    Fruit fruit = new Fruit();
                    fruit.setName(doc.getString("name"));
                    fruit.setDescription(doc.getString("description"));
                    return fruit;
                }).collect().asList();
    }

    public Uni<Void> add(Fruit fruit) {
        Document document = new Document()
                .append("name", fruit.getName())
                .append("description", fruit.getDescription());
        return getCollection().insertOne(document)
                .onItem().ignore().andContinueWithNull();
    }

    private ReactiveMongoCollection<Document> getCollection() {
        return mongoClient.getDatabase("fruit").getCollection("fruit");
    }
}
package org.acme.mongodb;

import io.smallrye.mutiny.Uni;

import java.util.List;

import jakarta.inject.Inject;
import jakarta.ws.rs.Path;
import jakarta.ws.rs.Produces;
import jakarta.ws.rs.Consumes;
import jakarta.ws.rs.GET;
import jakarta.ws.rs.POST;
import jakarta.ws.rs.core.MediaType;

@Path("/reactive_fruits")
@Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
@Consumes(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
public class ReactiveFruitResource {

    @Inject
    ReactiveFruitService fruitService;

    @GET
    public Uni<List<Fruit>> list() {
        return fruitService.list();
    }

    @POST
    public Uni<List<Fruit>> add(Fruit fruit) {
        return fruitService.add(fruit)
                .onItem().ignore().andSwitchTo(this::list);
    }
}

Simplifying MongoDB Client usage using BSON codec

By using a Bson Codec, the MongoDB Client will take care of the transformation of your domain object to/from a MongoDB Document automatically.

First you need to create a Bson Codec that will tell Bson how to transform your entity to/from a MongoDB Document. Here we use a CollectibleCodec as our object is retrievable from the database (it has a MongoDB identifier), if not we would have used a Codec instead. More information in the codec documentation: https://www.mongodb.com/docs/drivers/java/sync/current/fundamentals/data-formats/codecs/.

package org.acme.mongodb.codec;

import com.mongodb.MongoClientSettings;
import org.acme.mongodb.Fruit;
import org.bson.Document;
import org.bson.BsonWriter;
import org.bson.BsonValue;
import org.bson.BsonReader;
import org.bson.BsonString;
import org.bson.codecs.Codec;
import org.bson.codecs.CollectibleCodec;
import org.bson.codecs.DecoderContext;
import org.bson.codecs.EncoderContext;

import java.util.UUID;

public class FruitCodec implements CollectibleCodec<Fruit> {

    private final Codec<Document> documentCodec;

    public FruitCodec() {
        this.documentCodec = MongoClientSettings.getDefaultCodecRegistry().get(Document.class);
    }

    @Override
    public void encode(BsonWriter writer, Fruit fruit, EncoderContext encoderContext) {
        Document doc = new Document();
        doc.put("name", fruit.getName());
        doc.put("description", fruit.getDescription());
        documentCodec.encode(writer, doc, encoderContext);
    }

    @Override
    public Class<Fruit> getEncoderClass() {
        return Fruit.class;
    }

    @Override
    public Fruit generateIdIfAbsentFromDocument(Fruit document) {
        if (!documentHasId(document)) {
            document.setId(UUID.randomUUID().toString());
        }
        return document;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean documentHasId(Fruit document) {
        return document.getId() != null;
    }

    @Override
    public BsonValue getDocumentId(Fruit document) {
        return new BsonString(document.getId());
    }

    @Override
    public Fruit decode(BsonReader reader, DecoderContext decoderContext) {
        Document document = documentCodec.decode(reader, decoderContext);
        Fruit fruit = new Fruit();
        if (document.getString("id") != null) {
            fruit.setId(document.getString("id"));
        }
        fruit.setName(document.getString("name"));
        fruit.setDescription(document.getString("description"));
        return fruit;
    }
}

Then you need to create a CodecProvider to link this Codec to the Fruit class.

package org.acme.mongodb.codec;

import org.acme.mongodb.Fruit;
import org.bson.codecs.Codec;
import org.bson.codecs.configuration.CodecProvider;
import org.bson.codecs.configuration.CodecRegistry;

public class FruitCodecProvider implements CodecProvider {
    @Override
    public <T> Codec<T> get(Class<T> clazz, CodecRegistry registry) {
        if (clazz.equals(Fruit.class)) {
            return (Codec<T>) new FruitCodec();
        }
        return null;
    }

}

Quarkus takes care of registering the CodecProvider for you as a CDI bean of @Singleton scope.

Finally, when getting the MongoCollection from the database you can use directly the Fruit class instead of the Document one, the codec will automatically map the Document to/from your Fruit class.

Here is an example of using a MongoCollection with the FruitCodec.

package org.acme.mongodb;

import com.mongodb.client.MongoClient;
import com.mongodb.client.MongoCollection;
import com.mongodb.client.MongoCursor;

import jakarta.enterprise.context.ApplicationScoped;
import jakarta.inject.Inject;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;

@ApplicationScoped
public class CodecFruitService {

    @Inject MongoClient mongoClient;

    public List<Fruit> list(){
        List<Fruit> list = new ArrayList<>();
        MongoCursor<Fruit> cursor = getCollection().find().iterator();

        try {
            while (cursor.hasNext()) {
                list.add(cursor.next());
            }
        } finally {
            cursor.close();
        }
        return list;
    }

    public void add(Fruit fruit){
        getCollection().insertOne(fruit);
    }

    private MongoCollection<Fruit> getCollection(){
        return mongoClient.getDatabase("fruit").getCollection("fruit", Fruit.class);
    }
}

The POJO Codec

The POJO Codec provides a set of annotations that enable the customization of the way a POJO is mapped to a MongoDB collection and this codec is initialized automatically by Quarkus

One of these annotations is the @BsonDiscriminator annotation that allows to storage multiple Java types in a single MongoDB collection by adding a discriminator field inside the document. It can be useful when working with abstract types or interfaces.

Quarkus will automatically register all the classes annotated with @BsonDiscriminator with the POJO codec.

The POJO Codec have enhanced generic support via PropertyCodecProvider, Quarkus will automatically register any PropertyCodecProvider with the POJO Codec (these classes are automatically made CDI beans of @Singleton scope). When building native executables and using generic types, you might need to register the type arguments for reflection.

Simplifying MongoDB with Panache

The MongoDB with Panache extension facilitates the usage of MongoDB by providing active record style entities (and repositories) like you have in Hibernate ORM with Panache and focuses on making your entities trivial and fun to write in Quarkus.

Schema migration with Liquibase

The Liquibase MongoDB extension facilitates the initialization of a MongoDB database including indices and initial data. It implements the same schema migration facilities that Liquibase offers for SQL databases.

Connection Health Check

If you are using the quarkus-smallrye-health extension, quarkus-mongodb-client will automatically add a readiness health check to validate the connection to the cluster.

So when you access the /q/health/ready endpoint of your application you will have information about the connection validation status.

This behavior can be disabled by setting the quarkus.mongodb.health.enabled property to false in your application.properties.

Metrics

If you are using the quarkus-micrometer or quarkus-smallrye-metrics extension, quarkus-mongodb-client can provide metrics about the connection pools. This behavior must first be enabled by setting the quarkus.mongodb.metrics.enabled property to true in your application.properties.

So when you access the /q/metrics endpoint of your application you will have information about the connection pool status. When using SmallRye Metrics, connection pool metrics will be available under the vendor scope.

Testing helpers

Dev Services for MongoDB is your best option to start a MongoDB database for your unit tests.

But if you can’t use it, you can start a MongoDB database using one of the two QuarkusTestResourceLifecycleManager that Quarkus provides. They rely on Flapdoodle embedded MongoDB.

  • io.quarkus.test.mongodb.MongoTestResource will start a single instance on port 27017.

  • io.quarkus.test.mongodb.MongoReplicaSetTestResource will start a replicaset with two instances, one on port 27017 and the other on port 27018.

To use them, you need to add the io.quarkus:quarkus-test-mongodb dependency to your pom.xml.

For more information about the usage of a QuarkusTestResourceLifecycleManager please read Quarkus test resource.

To set the desired port MongoDB will listen to when it is launched, the following code should be used:

@QuarkusTestResource(value = MongoTestResource.class, initArgs = @ResourceArg(name = MongoTestResource.PORT, value = "27017"))

To set the desired MongoDB version that will be launched, the following code should be used:

@QuarkusTestResource(value = MongoTestResource.class, initArgs = @ResourceArg(name = MongoTestResource.VERSION, value = "V5_0"))

The string value used can be any of one of the de.flapdoodle.embed.mongo.distribution.Version or de.flapdoodle.embed.mongo.distribution.Version.Main enums. If no version is specified, Version.Main.V4_0 is used by default.

The legacy client

We don’t include the legacy MongoDB client by default. It contains the now retired MongoDB Java API (DB, DBCollection,…​ ) and the com.mongodb.MongoClient that is now superseded by com.mongodb.client.MongoClient.

If you want to use the legacy API, you need to add the following dependency to your build file:

pom.xml
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.mongodb</groupId>
    <artifactId>mongodb-driver-legacy</artifactId>
</dependency>
build.gradle
implementation("org.mongodb:mongodb-driver-legacy")

Building a native executable

You can use the MongoDB client in a native executable.

If you want to use SSL/TLS encryption, you need to add these properties in your application.properties:

quarkus.mongodb.tls=true
quarkus.mongodb.tls-insecure=true # only if TLS certificate cannot be validated

You can then build a native executable with the usual command:

CLI
quarkus build --native
Maven
./mvnw install -Dnative
Gradle
./gradlew build -Dquarkus.package.type=native

Running it is as simple as executing ./target/mongodb-quickstart-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT-runner.

You can then point your browser to http://localhost:8080/fruits.html and use your application.

Currently, Quarkus doesn’t support Client-Side Field Level Encryption in native mode.

If you encounter the following error when running your application in native mode:
Failed to encode 'MyObject'. Encoding 'myVariable' errored with: Can’t find a codec for class org.acme.MyVariable.
This means that the org.acme.MyVariable class is not known to GraalVM, the remedy is to add the @RegisterForReflection annotation to your MyVariable class. More details about the @RegisterForReflection annotation can be found on the native application tips page.

Using mongo+srv:// urls

mongo+srv:// urls are supported out of the box in JVM mode. However, in native, the default DNS resolver, provided by the MongoDB client, uses JNDI and does not work in native mode.

If you need to use mongo+srv:// in native mode, you can configure an alternative DNS resolver. This feature is experimental and may introduce a difference between JVM applications and native applications.

To enable the alternative DNS resolver, use:

quarkus.mongodb.native.dns.use-vertx-dns-resolver=true

As indicated in the property name, it uses Vert.x to retrieve the DNS records. By default, it tries to read the first nameserver from /etc/resolv.conf, if this file exists. You can also configure your DNS server:

quarkus.mongodb.native.dns.use-vertx-dns-resolver=true
quarkus.mongodb.native.dns.server-host=10.0.0.1
quarkus.mongodb.native.dns.server-port=53 # 53 is the default port

Also, you can configure the lookup timeout using:

quarkus.mongodb.native.dns.use-vertx-dns-resolver=true
quarkus.mongodb.native.dns.lookup-timeout=10s # the default is 5s

Customize the Mongo client configuration programmatically

If you need to customize the Mongo client configuration programmatically, you need to implement the io.quarkus.mongodb.runtime.MongoClientCustomizer interface and expose it as a CDI application scoped bean:

@ApplicationScoped
public class MyCustomizer implements MongoClientCustomizer {

    @Override
    public MongoClientSettings.Builder customize(MongoClientSettings.Builder builder) {
        return builder.applicationName("my-app");
    }
}

The bean can customize a specific client using the @MongoClientName qualifier to indicate the client name. When there is no qualifier, it customizes the default client. At most one customizer can be used per client. If multiple customizers targeting the same client are detected, an exception is thrown at build time.

This feature can be used to configure client-side field level encryption (CSFLE). Follows the instructions from the Mongo web site to configure CSFLE:

@ApplicationScoped
public class MyCustomizer implements MongoClientCustomizer {
    @Override
    public MongoClientSettings.Builder customize(MongoClientSettings.Builder builder) {
        Map<String, Map<String, Object>> kmsProviders = getKmsProviders();
        String dek = getDataEncryptionKey();
        Map<String, BsonDocument> schema = getSchema(dek);

        Map<String, Object> extraOptions = new HashMap<>();
        extraOptions.put("cryptSharedLibPath", "<path to crypt shared library>");

        return builder.autoEncryptionSettings(AutoEncryptionSettings.builder()
                .keyVaultNamespace(KEY_VAULT_NAMESPACE)
                .kmsProviders(kmsProviders)
                .schemaMap(schemaMap)
                .extraOptions(extraOptions)
                .build());
    }
}
Client-side field level encryption, and feature relying on Mongo Crypt in general, are not supported in native mode.

int

Configures the connection string. The format is: mongodb://[username:password@]host1[:port1][,host2[:port2],…​[,hostN[:portN]]][/[database.collection][?options]]

mongodb:// is a required prefix to identify that this is a string in the standard connection format.

username:password@ are optional. If given, the driver will attempt to log in to a database after connecting to a database server. For some authentication mechanisms, only the username is specified and the password is not, in which case the ":" after the username is left off as well.

host1 is the only required part of the connection string. It identifies a server address to connect to.

:portX is optional and defaults to :27017 if not provided.

/database is the name of the database to log in to and thus is only relevant if the username:password@ syntax is used. If not specified the admin database will be used by default.

?options are connection options. Note that if database is absent there is still a / required between the last host and the ? introducing the options. Options are name=value pairs and the pairs are separated by "&".

An alternative format, using the mongodb+srv protocol, is:

mongodb+srv://[username:password@]host[/[database][?options]]
  • mongodb+srv:// is a required prefix for this format.

  • username:password@ are optional. If given, the driver will attempt to login to a database after connecting to a database server. For some authentication mechanisms, only the username is specified and the password is not, in which case the ":" after the username is left off as well

  • host is the only required part of the URI. It identifies a single host name for which SRV records are looked up from a Domain Name Server after prefixing the host name with "_mongodb._tcp". The host/port for each SRV record becomes the seed list used to connect, as if each one were provided as host/port pair in a URI using the normal mongodb protocol.

  • /database is the name of the database to login to and thus is only relevant if the username:password@ syntax is used. If not specified the "admin" database will be used by default.

  • ?options are connection options. Note that if database is absent there is still a / required between the last host and the ? introducing the options. Options are name=value pairs and the pairs are separated by "&". Additionally with the mongodb+srv protocol, TXT records are looked up from a Domain Name Server for the given host, and the text value of each one is prepended to any options on the URI itself. Because the last specified value for any option wins, that means that options provided on the URI will override any that are provided via TXT records.

About the Duration format

To write duration values, use the standard java.time.Duration format. See the Duration#parse() Java API documentation for more information.

You can also use a simplified format, starting with a number:

  • If the value is only a number, it represents time in seconds.

  • If the value is a number followed by ms, it represents time in milliseconds.

In other cases, the simplified format is translated to the java.time.Duration format for parsing:

  • If the value is a number followed by h, m, or s, it is prefixed with PT.

  • If the value is a number followed by d, it is prefixed with P.
