 Description   

Customers store various types of binary data in MongoDB. The Compass chat tool shows a number of requests to view this data. This ticket documents discussions requesting the ability to view binary data and attempts to recognize common requests or patterns.

Common themes include:

  • view GridFS files, including PDFs
  • view UUID/GUID components

We now have support for UUID. If that is not enough, create a new suggestion at https://feedback.mongodb.com/forums/924283-compass

hi,

i think:

COMPASS-2709

COMPASS-2572

also request the UUID support, maybe you can have a look on how the guys of robomongo did it, i think they have a really nice solution for the decoding of the legacy uuid format

and spring-data-mongo decodes java UUID's as legacy 0x3 uuid format, cause they use the java UUID in all of their examples as id, so probably all java spring-data-mongo user are effected (just like me )

java.util.UUID (Legacy UUID)native{"uuid" : { "$binary" : "MEaf1CFQ6lSphaa3b9AtlA==", "$type" : "03" }}

andrew.aldridge's Media Player Plugin, or a variation thereof could be a great starting point: https://compass-blog.corp.mongodb.com/post/plugins-engoffsite-2017/#media-player
