But I don\'t know how to use them. I tried

Answer 1

For resolving this, I copied the dump folder,dbdump(which contains bson files) to bin directory of mongodb and executed the below commands in command prompt:

1. cd "path to MongoDB's bin folder"
(Example: cd C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\3.2\bin)

2. mongorestore.exe --dir ./directory name --db database-name
(Example: mongorestore --dir ./dbdump --db testdb)

All bson files in the dump folder will be imported into your database. You can verfiy this by executing the below commands :
cd "path to MongoDB's bin folder"
mongo.exe
show dbs;
