So basically you don't need to have a json_to_converter and any orm at all.
Just using the "COPY TO STDOUT" and js streams you are able to build a very powerful and nice solution, which will help you to get any data from the database no matter how it will be large in size. you will be limited only with your bandwidth.
Thank you, Alex, Yeah sure an ORM is not necessary, I would surely try out the alternate solution suggested.
You should also streaming, especially if CSV is large.
Maybe by piping CSV stream.
Hello, I love the article. But I do have some questions.
In a situation where I gotten the data I need from mongodb and I applied .populate
However, I would like to get access to a certain field in the populated field. How do I do that.
Hello Joel, hope I’m not too late, if you use populate then you would have a nested object, the library supports dots notation, for example, you have a user object with Id key, it would be value: 'user.id'

From the frontend, it can be sent as Formdata payload

Hello, I am not quite sure, it depends on how the data is stored in the database.
