Extract data from Firebase to MongoDB?

[Stéphane Maarek]

Hi,

I am currently a Loopback user, hosted on my own AWS EC2 server.

I design my own APIs but it's quite tedious so I wanted to give Firebase a shot

Before I start any development work, I have a question: can I extract data from Firebase and put it in my local MongoDB?

Basically, (hopefully not), but if I choose to go back to Loopback, I do not want to lose all the data that I created.

Oppositely, as I am doing a migration, is it possible for me to import data from mongodb into firebase? and maybe created my data model from there on firebase?

Thanks for your help,

Stephane

Stéphane,

Great to meet you. Thanks for having a look at Firebase.

Since your Firebase data is just JSON with a couple caveats, this should all be perfectly reasonable. Mongo can easily be coaxed into JSON, and Firebase is already JSON. 

Unlike Mongo, Firebase data will not experience any fidelity loss if you use exportVal or the export function in your account dashboard.

Cheers,

Kato

Hi,

I know it's been a while but I faced the same issue and wrote a short piece on how to solve it:
