MongoDB Browser

DBX supports browsing and editing MongoDB databases with a document-oriented interface designed for MongoDB's flexible schema model.

Collections Browser

MongoDB databases and collections appear in the sidebar alongside relational databases. The browser supports:

• Listing all databases on the server
• Listing collections within each database
• Paginated document browsing within collections
• Filter and sort support for document queries

Table View

Collections are displayed in a table view that flattens the document structure:

• Top-level fields appear as columns
• Nested fields are shown in dot notation (e.g., address.city)
• Missing fields across documents are handled gracefully
• Column widths auto-fit to content

Document Viewer

Click any document to open it in the detail panel. The JSON viewer provides:

• Syntax-highlighted JSON display
• Collapsible nested objects and arrays
• Copy individual fields or the entire document

Inline Editing

Edit documents directly from the table view:

• Double-click a cell to edit its value
• Changes are staged locally before saving
• Review the generated update command before applying

JSON Editor

For complex edits that span nested fields, use the JSON editor:

• Edit the full document as JSON
• Syntax validation before saving
• Useful for adding new nested fields or restructuring documents

MongoDB Versions

DBX supports MongoDB 4.2 and later through the built-in driver. For pre-4.2 MongoDB instances, DBX can fall back to the JDBC agent driver. See Driver Management for details on configuring agent drivers.
