To import JSON file you need to follow the following steps: Step 1: Open a command prompt and give command mongod to connect with MongoDB server and don't close this cmd to stay connected to the server. Step 2: Open another command prompt and run the mongo shell. Using the mongo command.
If you have CSV files (or TSV files - they're conceptually the same) to import, use the --type=csv or --type=tsv option to tell mongoimport what format to expect. Also important is to know whether your CSV file has a header row - where the first line doesn't contain data - instead it contains the name for each column.
The mongoimport tool imports content from an Extended JSON, CSV, or TSV export created by mongoexport , or potentially, another third-party export tool. Run mongoimport from the system command line, not the mongo shell.
The process to import JSON into MongoDB depends on the operating system and the programming language you are using. However, the key to importing is to access the MongoDB database and parsing the file that you want to import. You can then go through each document sequentially and insert into MongoDB.
You are probably running this command under mongo shell. As you can see in the path program files/mongodb/server/3.2/bin there is no command under mongod as mongoimport. So in order to solve the problem, navigate your cmd prompt to the file and without using mongo shell(mongo) run the command in cmd prompt.
