How to use MongoDB with Graphical IDEs
Boost your efficiency with a MongoDB IDE
MongoDB is an open-source document-oriented NoSQL database. We have introduced how to use mongosh to run CRUD commands in the console. However, if you need to write complex queries or aggregation pipelines, using mongosh is not that convenient. Luckily, there exist some handy graphical IDEs that can be used to facilitate the writing of complex queries or aggregation pipelines. With some advanced tools such as Studio 3T, you can even write MongoDB queries with RDBMS-like SQL syntax. Besides, the results can be displayed in a more user-friendly way. If you use MongoDB a lot in your work, a handy graphical tool can increase your efficiency dramatically.
MongoDB Compass
MongoDB Compass is the officially supported GUI for working with MongoDB data in a visual environment. It is free to use and can be run on macOS, Windows, and Linux. MongoDB Compass can be downloaded from the official site of MongoDB. Note that MongoDB Compass has three versions: a full version with all features, a read-only version, and an isolated edition. Normally we would use the full version. Please download and install the full version of MongoDB Compass if you want to try the features demonstrated below by yourself.
