To import multiple JSON files into MongoDB, you can use the mongoimport tool provided by MongoDB. Follow these steps:

  1. Make sure you have MongoDB installed and running on your system.
  2. Open a terminal or command prompt.
  3. Navigate to the directory where your JSON files are located.
  4. Use the following command to import a single JSON file:
1
mongoimport --db <your_database_name> --collection <your_collection_name> --file <your_json_file_name>.json


Replace <your_database_name>, <your_collection_name>, and <your_json_file_name> with the appropriate values.

  1. If you have multiple JSON files to import, you can use a wildcard (*) to specify all JSON files in the directory:
1
mongoimport --db <your_database_name> --collection <your_collection_name> --file *.json


  1. MongoDB will import each JSON file as a separate document in the specified collection.
  2. You can use the MongoDB shell to verify that the documents have been imported successfully:
1
2
3
mongo
use <your_database_name>
db.<your_collection_name>.find()


That's it! You have successfully imported multiple JSON files into MongoDB.
