Import a JSON file into MongoDB

To import a JSON file into MongoDB, you can use the mongoimport tool. Here's a step-by-step guide:

1. Install mongoimport: If you haven't already installed mongoimport, you can download it from the MongoDB website. Starting from MongoDB 4.4, mongoimport is released separately from the MongoDB server.

2. Prepare your JSON file: Ensure your JSON file is properly formatted. Each line in the file should represent a single JSON document.

3. Use mongoimport to import the JSON file: Open your terminal and run the following command:

   mongoimport --uri "mongodb+srv://<username>:<password>@<cluster-url>/<database>" --collection <collection> --file <path-to-json-file> --jsonArray

Replace <username>, <password>, <cluster-url>, <database>, <collection>, and <path-to-json-file> with your actual MongoDB credentials, cluster URL, database name, collection name, and the path to your JSON file.

Here's an example command:

mongoimport --uri "mongodb+srv://user:password@cluster0.mongodb.net/mydatabase" --collection mycollection --file /path/to/myfile.json --jsonArray

This command will import the JSON data into the specified collection in your MongoDB database.
