## What it is
A suite of official MongoDB command-line tools written in Go, including mongodump/mongorestore for backups, mongoimport/mongoexport for JSON/CSV data transfer, bsondump, mongofiles for GridFS, and mongostat/mongotop for monitoring. It is maintained by MongoDB Inc. and released as the MongoDB Database Tools.

## Use cases
- back up a mongodb database to disk
- restore a bson dump into a live mongodb cluster
- import csv or  data into a mongodb collection
- export a mongodb collection to  or csv
- monitor mongodb server read/write activity
- convert bson files to human-readable
- manage files stored in gridfs

## When to choose
- you need official, supported tools for mongodb backup and restore
- you want to migrate data between mongodb deployments or from csv/ files
- you need to inspect bson files or monitor server performance from the command line

## When to avoid
- you use a non-mongodb database
- you need a GUI for database administration
- you want programmatic in-application access to mongodb rather than CLI utilities
