Export MongoDB Data: Complete Guide
MongoDB allows you to export data using the mongoexport command. Below are the steps to export data.
- Open the terminal or command prompt and navigate to the installation directory of MongoDB.
- Execute the following command to export the data:
- export data from a specific database and collection to a specified output file path
- For example, to export the collection named “users” from the database “mydb” and save the data to a file named “users.json”, you can run the following command:
- Export the “users” collection from the “mydb” database to a file named “users.json” using mongoexport.
- After running the command, MongoDB will export all documents in the specified collection and save them to the designated output file.
Please note that you can use other options in the command to further customize the export process, such as specifying query conditions, export fields, etc. You can use the mongoexport –help command to view all available options.
