MongoDB Database Tools

The MongoDB Database Tools are a collection of command-line utilities for working with a MongoDB deployment. Some of the common database tools are as follows:

• mongoimport: Imports content from an extended JSON, CSV, or TSV export file
• mongoexport: Produces a JSON or CSV export of data stored in a mongod instance
• mongodump: Creates a binary export of the contents of a mongod database

There are some other tools, such as mongorestore, bsondump, mongostat, mongotop, and mongofiles. The MongoDB Database Tools can be installed with an MSI installer (or downloaded as a ZIP archive).
