This project lets you run a full-featured mongo shell from within the browser.

Why do this? In a browser, we can make the existing shell far more powerful, by adding UI elements like drop-down autocompletion and integrated documentation that simply aren't possible in a Terminal-wrapped shell.

How it works: The server project (in the "Server" folder), starts an embedded HTTP server on localhost:29017 that serves the JavaScript-based front-end client (in the "Client" folder). The server handles wrapping the mongo.exe shell and provides RESTful endpoints to the client to get extra data.
