I am new to Spring Boot and I saw a concept of DAO or JPA that helps us to use Relational databases. But in my case I want to use mongo-DB so is there a particular design pattern with spring that I should be using in order to perform CRUD operations?

What design patterns are generally used?

In case there is no such design pattern then what could be the best way to be performing CRUD operations using MongoDB?

Also are there any tools or standards that helps us connect java application to a NoSQL database?

JPA is for NoSQL database too.

The MongoTemplate follows the standard template pattern in Spring and provides a ready-to-go, basic API to the underlying persistence engine.

The repository follows the Spring Data-centric approach and comes with more flexible and complex API operations, based on the well-known access patterns in all Spring Data projects.

For both, we need to start by defining the dependency — for example, in the pom.xml, with Maven
