Dump Mongo Collection into JSON format

Question

Is there any way to dump mongo collection into json format? Either on the shell or using java driver.I am looking for the one with best performance.

Answer 1

Here's mine command for reference:

mongoexport --db AppDB --collection files --pretty --out output.json

On Windows 7 (MongoDB 3.4), one has to move the cmd to the place where mongod.exe and mongo.exe file resides => C:\MongoDB\Server\3.4\bin else it won't work saying it does not recongnize mongoexport command.
