library0.5.0jsnpmunverified

A CLI tool for restoring MongoDB backups, built on top of the mongodb-restore library. Version 0.5.0 is the latest stable release. It supports restoring from BSON/JSON, options for dropping collections before restore, metadata (indexes etc.) restoration, and extraction from tar files. Similar to the official mongorestore but published as an npm package. The project appears to be a personal utility with infrequent updates. Release cadence is unknown; last publish likely years ago.
