    Suppose we want retrieve only the queried element in an object array then we need to perform mongo query like below. Let me explain with this help of example.

    {
     _id: 4,
     zipcode: "63109",
     students: [
                  { name: "ankit", school: 99, age: 11 },
                  { name: "amit", school: 99, age: 12 },
               ]
    }
    

    if we want the above document filtered with only array item age =12:

    $elemMatch

    We will use $elemMatch operator for this.

    The $elemMatch operator limits the contents of an field from the query return the first element matching the $elemMatch condition.

    db.schools.find( {"students.age": "19"}, 
                {students: {$elemMatch: {age: "12"}}});
