MongoDB Query Formatter — Format BSON JSON Queries
generic-text workspace — use json-formatter-validator for MongoDB filter JSON pretty print
How to Use This Tool
- Paste MongoDB filter or pipeline JSON into generic-text textarea.
- Click Transform — passthrough for this slug today.
- Open json-formatter-validator for pretty print and tree view.
- Validate JSON syntax before pasting into mongo shell.
- Use Fix JSON for trailing commas from hand edits.
- Copy formatted output for documentation and code review.
About This Tool
MongoDB shell filters, aggregation pipeline stages, and Compass exports often arrive as single-line JSON — hard to review in tickets and runbooks. VSPIC mongodb-query-formatter maps to generic-text client kind in missing-tools-handlers.generated.ts: textarea plus Transform with slug-aware transformText.
The slug mongodb-query-formatter does not match format rules in transformText today — Transform returns input unchanged. MongoDB queries are JSON documents — use json-formatter-validator proxy widget for pretty print, tree view, validation, and minify on filter and pipeline JSON. This page documents passthrough and routes to json-formatter-validator.
Common use cases
- •Inspect HTTP headers and user-agent strings
- •Analyze email headers for phishing investigation
- •Generate strong passwords for staging environments
Why use VSPIC for ?
- Honest generic-text passthrough documentation.
- Clear path to json-formatter-validator for real format.
- Client-side paste — unreleased collection queries stay local.
- Copy workspace for ticket staging.
- Pairs with mongodb-objectid-generator for ObjectId workflows.
- Free json-formatter-validator proxy after navigation.
MongoDB queries as JSON
find filters and aggregation $match stages are JSON objects. Standard JSON formatters handle structure — Extended JSON $oid and $date wrappers parse as strings in strict JSON mode.
Use json-formatter-validator for format
json-formatter-validator proxy provides pretty print, tree view, minify, Fix JSON, and validation — appropriate for MongoDB query JSON paste.
generic-text passthrough for this slug
mongodb-query-formatter lacks transformText matches. Output equals input on Transform.
Extended JSON considerations
Strict JSON mode may flag $oid keys — use Fix JSON or convert to shell ObjectId syntax in application code.
Relationship to mongodb-objectid-generator
ObjectId generation is separate tor-exit placeholder slug — use uuid-generator for dev IDs until ObjectId handler ships.
Aggregation pipeline readability
Multi-stage pipelines benefit from array pretty print with each stage on indented block — json-formatter-validator tree view helps navigate.
Client-side privacy
Collection names and field paths in queries stay in browser on paste.
Future dedicated MongoDB formatter
Registry may add client kind with aggregation stage-aware indent. Content will update when shipped.
Compass export workflow
Export filter from Compass, pretty print in json-formatter-validator, attach to incident ticket with formatted readability.
Important notes & limitations
- No MongoDB-specific formatter on this slug today.
- generic-text passthrough — no aggregation stage indent.
- Does not validate Extended JSON ObjectId syntax.
- Not a replacement for mongo shell explain or Compass.
- Single buffer — not multi-stage pipeline editor.
