Import, export and copy data, or generate test documents

Move collections through JSON, Extended JSON, NDJSON or CSV files, copy one straight to another server, and generate documents you can read before they are written. Canonical Extended JSON keeps every BSON type; CSV and Excel write values as text.

Also in this part

Formats: JSON, Extended JSON, NDJSON and CSV on every tier. Excel needs Pro.
Whole databases: On Pro, import a directory of files as one database, export a whole database, or duplicate one.
Types: A collection export can write canonical Extended JSON, which keeps ObjectId, Date, Long, Decimal128, UUID and Binary through a round trip. The default relaxed form loses 64-bit integers above 2^53.
