Rolens

This project arose from all flaws of similar tools many of which are slow, complicated, heavy, and fairly unwieldy. They mostly require a reasonably high level of knowledge on how to operate the program.

Rolens aims to be the intuitive, lightweight counterpart of these overengineered tools.

• Lightweight: Rolens weighs about 15 MB.
• Open source: You know what’s inside!
• Low overhead: Typical query results against a local database are returned whithin milliseconds.
• Intuitive interface: You know MongoDB? You know Rolens.

This project is heavily inspired by the excellent MongoHub application, which sadly has not been updated since 2011.
