MongoDB Aggregation Beautifier

Beautify and indent MongoDB aggregation pipelines in your browser.

This is a local tool: it runs entirely in your browser, the aggregation pipeline you paste never leaves your device, and nothing is uploaded to ArrayKit or any server.

About MongoDB Aggregation Beautifier

The MongoDB Aggregation Beautifier formats and indents messy, single-line aggregation pipelines into clean, readable code right in your browser. Paste a `db.collection.aggregate([...])` call or a bare array of stages like `$match`, `$group`, `$sort` and `$lookup`, and it pretty-prints the whole pipeline with consistent two-space indentation so you can actually read what each stage does. It is built for backend and data engineers debugging slow aggregations, reviewers checking a pull request, and anyone copying a compacted pipeline out of logs, a driver, or the Mongo shell. Because everything runs locally as a browser tool, there is no request building or upload involved — the formatter parses and reflows your pipeline on your own machine. Use it to clean up exported queries, document pipelines, or spot a misplaced bracket before running an aggregate against production data.

Example

Input

db.orders.aggregate([{$match:{status:"paid"}},{$group:{_id:"$userId",total:{$sum:"$amount"}}},{$sort:{total:-1}}])

Output

  {
    $sort: {
      total: -1
    }
  }
])

A compact one-line pipeline reflowed into readable, indented stages.

Common errors & troubleshooting

Frequently asked questions

What is the MongoDB Aggregation Beautifier?
It is a browser tool that takes a compacted or single-line MongoDB aggregation pipeline and reformats it with clean indentation so each stage and expression is easy to read and review.
Does it work with a full aggregate() call or just the stage array?
Both. You can paste a complete db.collection.aggregate([...]) statement or just the bare array of pipeline stages — the beautifier formats either one.
Will it run or execute my aggregation against a database?
No. It only formats the text of your pipeline. It does not connect to MongoDB, run the aggregation, or return any query results.
Does my pipeline get uploaded anywhere?
No. This is a local tool that runs entirely in your browser, so the pipeline you paste never leaves your device and nothing is uploaded to ArrayKit or any server.
Is it safe to paste a pipeline that contains sensitive field names or values?
Yes. Because all parsing and formatting happens locally on your machine, sensitive collection, field, and value details stay on your device.
How is this different from the MongoDB Query Beautifier?
The Query Beautifier targets find() and shell-style queries, while this tool is tuned for aggregation pipelines — arrays of stages like $match, $group and $sort.
