Query Code is the code generation feature in Studio 3T that converts MongoDB, aggregation, and SQL queries to JavaScript (Node.js), Java (2.x and 3.x driver API), Python, C#, PHP, and the mongo shell language in one click. Try it today.
Generate query code - Ctrl + G (⌘+ G)
Want to know more about queries in Studio 3T? Please review our main breakdown for more info.
Basics
Query Code automatically translates MongoDB queries built through the Visual Query Builder and Aggregation Editor – as well as SQL queries built through SQL Query – to the following languages:
- JavaScript (Node.js)
- Python
- Java (2.x and 3.x driver API)
- C#
- PHP
- The complete mongo shell language
Simply click on the Query Code tab to view the generated code.
So, again, where exactly is Query Code available?
- Visual Query Builder – Studio 3T’s drag-and-drop MongoDB query builder. Execute MongoDB queries with no JSON required.
- SQL Query – Query MongoDB with SQL statements and joins, and see how they translate to the mongo shell language.
- Aggregation Editor – Studio 3T’s aggregation pipeline builder. Write MongoDB aggregation queries in stages, apply operators, and view inputs/outputs at each step.
Code examples
SQL to MongoDB
Original SQL query:
select count(*), max(units), zip_code from housing group by zip_code order by max(units) desc;
MongoDB query (to be used in the examples below):
db.getCollection("housing").aggregate(
[
{
"$group" : {
"_id" : {
"zip_code" : "$zip_code"
},
"COUNT(*)" : {
"$sum" : NumberInt(1)
},
"MAX(units)" : {
"$max" : "$units"
}
}
},
{
"$project" : {
"_id" : NumberInt(0),
"COUNT(*)" : "$COUNT(*)",
"MAX(units)" : "$MAX(units)",
"zip_code" : "$_id.zip_code"
}
},
{
"$sort" : {
"MAX(units)" : NumberInt(-1)
}
},
{
"$project" : {
"_id" : NumberInt(0),
"COUNT(*)" : "$COUNT(*)",
"MAX(units)" : "$MAX(units)",
"zip_code" : "$zip_code"
}
}
]

Instant code? Check. What about these other time-saving features:
- IntelliShell – Write MongoDB queries faster with Studio 3T’s mongo shell. Autocomplete field names, collection names, shell methods, JavaScript standard library functions, and more.
- Data Compare and Sync – Compare any two MongoDB collections across databases and sync differences between the two.
- Import and Export Wizard – Import to and export from MongoDB in the following formats: JSON, CSV, SQL, BSON/mongodump, and another collection.
