Nice work! A feature that I'd like to see is to show the results in a table-like structure.

MongoDB collections doesn't have a defined structure, but usually the documents are all almost identical, and it would be useful to show them in a table.

If you order the columns then by %-populated then the really sparse columns (exceptions) would by nicely out of the way, too.

This would make a nice heuristic for autocompletion too.

Related would be an SQLalchemy database structure crawler that would suggest appropriate mongodb collection aggregation, based on the frequency of columns, keys, etc.

How would you deal with deeply nested structures?
