Answer
MongoDB provides snapshot isolation for transactions using timestamps, oplog ordering, and WiredTiger MVCC to maintain a consistent point-in-time view throughout the transaction.
Quick Answer
Snapshot isolation gives each transaction a consistent point-in-time view of the data. In MongoDB, WiredTiger creates a version snapshot at transaction start. Reads within the transaction see that snapshot - unaffected by concurrent writes from other transactions. Writes are only visible after commit. This prevents dirty reads and non-repeatable reads without locking readers.
