Insert json file into mongodb

Question

I am new to MongoDB. After installing MongoDB in Windows I am trying to insert a simple json file using the following command:

C:\>mongodb\bin\mongoimport --db test --collection docs < example2.json 

I am getting the following error:

example2.json

{"FirstName": "Bruce", "LastName": "Wayne",  "Email": "[email protected]"} {"FirstName": "Lucius", "LastName": "Fox",  "Email": "[email protected]"} {"FirstName": "Dick", "LastName": "Grayson",  "Email": "[email protected]"}

What do I need to do to import new json file into mongodb?

Answer 1

Use

mongoimport --jsonArray --db test --collection docs --file example2.json 

Its probably messing up because of the newline characters.
