How to import a JSON file into MongoDB?

To import a JSON file into MongoDB, you have to use the utility called mongoimport. Here are the steps.

1. Open your terminal or command prompt.

1. Navigate to the directory where your JSON file is located using the “cd” command.

1. Run the following command to import your JSON file into MongoDB:

\`\`\`bash mongoimport —db —collection —file \`\`\`

Replace `` with the name of the database where you want to import the JSON file, `` with the collection where you want to save the data, and `` with the name of your JSON file.

Please note:

- The mongoimport utility must be in your system PATH. If it’s not, you need to specify the full path of the utility in the command.
- mongoimport utility is typically included in MongoDB installations.
- The format of JSON data files should be either a- JSON array or a series of ‘newline-separated’ JSON objects.
- MongoDB server must be running on your machine before you can import data into it.
