Display documents of collection in formatted manner
(Pretty print the documents).

First, Let's create new collection and insert document in it >
> db.employee.insert({_id : 1,  firstName:"ankit"})
> db.employee.insert({_id : 2,  firstName:"ankit", salary : 1000 })
> db.employee.insert({_id : 3,  firstName:"sam", salary : 2000 })
> db.employee.insert({_id : 4,  firstName:"neh", salary : 3000 })
First line above will create table (or collection) (if table already exists it will insert documents in it).


FIND Example > Query all document of collection using find().pretty() method>

> db.employee.find().pretty()
Output>
{
       "_id" : 1,
       "firstName" : "ankit"
}
{
       "_id" : 2,
       "firstName" : "ankit",
       "salary" : 1000
}
{
       "_id" : 3,
       "firstName" : "sam",
       "salary" : 2000
}
{
       "_id" : 4,
       "firstName" : "neh",
       "salary" : 3000
