Can't open the BSON file? You are not the only one. Thousands of users face similar problems every day. Below you will find tips on how to open BSON files as well as a list of programs that support BSON files.

The BSON file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the BSON files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the BSON file on each system platform.
What is BSON file?
The BSON file has been categorized as Web Files. The creator of this file is 10gen. Web Files consists of 303 similar files. BSON Binary JSON is supported by 1 operating systems. These systems consist of Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. The MongoDB application is recommended to open the file. It was released by 10gen.
How to open BSON file?
An often recurring problem with BSON Binary JSON is that BSON is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open BSON, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the BSON file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install MongoDB
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that MongoDB is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name MongoDB into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open BSON files.
Programs to open BSON file
Remember to download programs supporting BSON files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of MongoDB with BSON files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the BSON file to open in the MongoDB application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the BSON file with the MongoDB program.
Step 3. Update MongoDB to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the MongoDB program, it is possible that BSON Binary JSON requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the 10gen website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the BSON file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the BSON file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file BSON or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected BSON files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the BSON file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular BSON file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting 10gen, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file BSON except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the BSON file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the BSON file again. However, some background programs may block the BSON file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
