Import external JSON-files to MongoDB

Question

I have a large number of JSON-files that I need to import to my Mongo database, I have also defined a schema in Mongoose, with the exact same format as my JSON-files.

Is there any way to use the terminal to import all the files to my database?

Answer 1

This is straight from the docs.  

mongoimport --db users --collection contacts --file contacts.json

Also look at this thread as another person ran into some issues
