$AND

• Available Since API Version – 2.4

The $AND operator combines one or more operands with a logical AND, meaning that all of the supplied operands must be true in order for a record to match the criteria. The $AND operator will accept an array containing any combination of comparison or logical operators as operands, including another $AND operator, thus allowing you to create complex nested conditional searches.

Examples

The example below illustrates how to use the $AND operator when constructing a search query.

$AND Example

The following is an example of an $AND search which would retrieve all address book entries whose Company Name begins with the letter "A" and who have the position of "President".

{
  "$AND":[
    {
      "CompanyName":{
        "$LIKE":"A%"
      }
    },
    {
      "Position":{
        "$EQ":"President"
      }
    }
  ]
}

$OR

• Available Since API Version – 2.7

The $OR operator combines one or more operands with a logical OR, meaning that any records for which one or more of the supplied operands are true will match the criteria. The $OR operator will accept an array containing any combination of comparison or logical operators as operands, including another $OR operator, thus allowing you to create complex nested conditional searches.

Examples

The example below illustrates how to use the $AND operator when constructing a search query.

$OR Example

The following is an example of an $OR search which would return all entries whose Company Name begins with "ABC" or who have a last name of "Napoli".

{
  "$OR":[
    {
      "CompanyName":{
        "$LIKE":"ABC%"
      }
    },
    {
      "LastName":{
        "$EQ":"Napoli"
      }
    }
  ]
}
