bsondump
¶
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¶
-
bsondump
¶
-
--help
¶
Returns a basic help and usage text.
-
--verbose
,
-v
¶
Increases the amount of internal reporting returned on the command line. Increase the verbosity with the
-v
form by including the option multiple times, (e.g.-vvvvv
.)
-
--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
bsondump
performs on all BSON documents.
-
--filter
'<JSON>'
¶ Limits the documents that
bsondump
exports to only those documents that match the JSON document specified as'<JSON>'
. Be sure to include the document in single quotes to avoid interaction with your system’s shell environment.
