BSONDUMP
NAME
bsondump − MongoDB BSON Utility
SYNOPSIS
The bsondump converts BSON files into human−readable formats, including JSON. For example, bsondump is useful for reading the output files generated by mongodump.
IMPORTANT:
bsondump is a diagnostic tool for inspecting BSON files, not a tool for data ingestion or other application use.
OPTIONS
Changed in version 3.0.0: bsondump removed the −−filter option.
bsondump
bsondump
|
−−help
|
|
Returns information on the options and use of bsondump.
|
−−verbose, −v
Increases the amount of internal reporting returned on standard output or in log files. Increase the verbosity with the −v form by including the option multiple times, (e.g. −vvvvv.)
−−quiet
Runs the bsondump in a quiet mode that attempts to limit the amount of output.
This option suppresses:
|
•
|
|
output from database commands
|
|
|
•
|
|
replication activity
|
|
|
•
|
|
connection accepted events
|
|
|
•
|
|
connection closed events
|
|
−−version
Returns the bsondump release number.
−−objcheck
Validates each BSON object before outputting it in JSON format. By default, bsondump enables −−objcheck. For objects with a high degree of sub−document nesting, −−objcheck can have a small impact on performance. You can set −−noobjcheck to disable object checking.
Changed in version 2.4: MongoDB enables −−objcheck by default, to prevent any client from inserting malformed or invalid BSON into a MongoDB database.
−−noobjcheck
New in version 2.4.
Disables the default document validation that MongoDB performs on all incoming BSON documents.
−−type <=json|=debug>
Changes the operation of bsondump from outputting "JSON" (the default) to a debugging format.
−−pretty
New in version 3.0.0.
Outputs documents in a pretty−printed format JSON.
<bsonFilename>
The final argument to bsondump is a document containing BSON. This data is typically generated by bsondump or by MongoDB in a rollback operation.
USE
By default, bsondump outputs data to standard output. To create corresponding JSON files, you will need to use the shell redirect. See the following command:
bsondump collection.bson > collection.json
Use the following command (at the system shell) to produce debugging output for a BSON file:
bsondump −−type=debug collection.bson
