MongoDB Query Formatter

Format a MongoDB query/filter document into clean, readable, properly indented JSON-like syntax.

Paste a MongoDB query or filter document below - this tool reformats it with clean, consistent indentation.

This formats the query document you provide - it never connects to or runs anything against a real MongoDB server.

What Does This Tool Do?

It reformats a MongoDB query/filter document (JSON-like syntax, e.g. { status: "active", age: { $gt: 18 } }) with clean, consistent indentation, making nested operators easier to read.

Why Use This Tool?

MongoDB queries often nest operators several levels deep ($and, $or, comparison operators inside field objects) - a single-line query with several nested braces is hard to scan. Proper indentation makes the structure clear.

How to Use It

  1. Paste your MongoDB query/filter document.
  2. Click Format.
  3. Copy the cleanly indented result.

Limitations

MongoDB query syntax is JSON-like but allows unquoted keys and single quotes, unlike strict JSON - this tool handles that common syntax, though it is not a full BSON-aware parser for every possible MongoDB-specific value type.
