Search and Filter

The search bar filters documents by:

For complex queries, use the CLI:

toollessdb query mydb users -f '{"age":{"$gt":25}}'

JSON Validation

The editor validates JSON in real-time:

• Green dot - Valid JSON
• Red dot - Invalid JSON

Common errors:

• Missing closing brackets
• Trailing commas
• Unquoted keys
• Single quotes (use double quotes)

Tips

• Use Tab for indentation in the editor
• Copy documents using the copy button
• Refresh to see latest data
• Use keyboard shortcuts for efficiency
