-# $type
-
-The `$type` operator is used to check the data type of a field in a document. It can used when type-specific operations or validations are needed. The `$type` operator returns the BSON type of the evaluated expression. The returned type is a string, which corresponds to the type of the field or expression.
-
-Planner version 2.0 added index support for `$type`.
-
-**Parameters**
-
-  * `expression` : The expression to evaluate.
-
-
-
-
-## Example (MongoDB Shell)
-
-**Create sample documents**
-    
-    
-    db.documents.insertMany([
-      { _id: 1, name: "John", age: 30, email: "[email protected]" },
-      { _id: 2, name: "Jane", age: "25", email: 123456 },
-      { _id: 3, name: 123, age: true, email: null }
-    ]);
-
-**Query example**
-    
-    
-    db.documents.find({
-      $or: [
-        { age: { $type: "number" } },
-        { email: { $type: "string" } },
-        { name: { $type: "string" } }
-      ]
-    })
-
-**Output**
-    
-    
-    [
-      { "_id": 1, "name": "John", "age": 30, "email": "[email protected]" },
-      { "_id": 2, "name": "Jane", "age": "25", "email": 123456 }
-    ]
-
-This query will return the documents where the `age` field is of type "number", the `email` field is of type "string", and the `name` field is of type "string".
