mongoexport

Produce exports of data stored in a MongoDB instance formatted as JSON or CSV.

More information.

Export a collection to stdout, formatted as JSON:

mongoexport --uri={connection_string} --collection={collection_name}

Export the documents in the specified collection that match a query to a JSON file:

mongoexport --db={database_name} --collection={collection_name} --query="{query_object}" --out={path/to/file.json}

Export documents as a JSON array instead of one object per line:

mongoexport --collection={collection_name} --jsonArray

Export documents to a CSV file:

mongoexport --collection={collection_name} --type={csv} --fields="{field1,field2,...}" --out={path/to/file.csv}

Export documents that match the query in the specified file to a CSV file, omitting the list of field names on the first line:

mongoexport --collection={collection_name} --type={csv} --fields="{field1,field2,...}" --queryFile={path/to/file} --noHeaderLine --out={path/to/file.csv}

Export documents to stdout, formatted as human-readable JSON:

mongoexport --uri={mongodb_uri} --collection={collection_name} --pretty
