BSON to JSON

This page does not decode BSON — it's a binary format that can't be meaningfully pasted as text, so decoding it needs a real BSON library running outside the browser's text-input model. Gives exact commands for real tools instead.

How to Use BSON to JSON
  1. 1Copy the Node.js, Python, or online-tool command shown on the page
  2. 2Run it against your BSON file
Frequently Asked Questions

BSON is a binary format (MongoDB's storage format) — it isn't representable as pasteable text the way JSON, XML, YAML, CSV, or SQL are, so a browser textarea-based tool like this one isn't the right shape for decoding it at all, regardless of parsing complexity.

The page shows copy-paste-ready commands: Node.js (npm install bson), Python (import bson), or transform.tools' online BSON to JSON converter — MongoDB's own tools (mongoexport) are also a good option if your BSON came from a MongoDB database.

As a quick reference with exact working commands, rather than a broken paste-text tool for a format that fundamentally doesn't fit that interaction model.
