Appendix

The MongoDB Utilities

The mongo shell does not include functions for exporting, importing, backup or restore. However, MongoDB has created methods for accomplishing this, so that no scripting work or complex GUIs are needed. For this, several utility scripts are provided that can be used to get data in or out of the database in bulk. These utility scripts are:

mongoimport
mongoexport
mongodump
mongorestore

We will cover each of these utilities in detail in the upcoming sections. As their names suggest, these four utilities correspond to importing documents, exporting documents, backing up a database and restoring a database. We will start with the topic of exporting data.
