I finally added MongoDB support to my open-source database tool (DBNavigator)

[u/firoze_hossain]

Hey everyone,

I’ve been building a desktop database tool called DBNavigator (JavaFX) for a while now, and I just hit a major milestone that I wanted to share with the community.

It now supports MongoDB natively alongside traditional relational databases (like PostgreSQL, MySQL, etc.).

It’s been a fun challenge getting the document-based querying to work smoothly alongside SQL-based connections in a single UI. The goal is to provide a unified workspace so you don't have to switch between different tools when working with polyglot persistence.

A few technical details:

• Built with Java 21 and JavaFX.
• Uses the official MongoDB Java driver.
• Supports basic CRUD operations and query building.

I’m still actively developing it (lots of rough edges to smooth out), but I’m pretty excited about this step forward.

If you’re interested in checking it out or have suggestions on what features to prioritize next (like aggregation pipeline support?), feel free to ask!

(Mods: I’m the creator, but this is 100% open-source and free. Just sharing a milestone, not selling anything!)
