How to convert BSON to JSON with human-readable date format

Question

I would like to transform a BSON dump of MongoDB to JSON.

To do that, I\'m using the bsondump tool provided with Mongo, but I get an output like :

{ \"_i         


        

Answer 1

To create a JSON file directly from the database, use mongoexport

mongoexport --db myDatabase --collection myCollection --jsonArray --out myJsonFile.json
