Restore data Mongodb from JSON

Question

I have a dump which including 2 files data.json and metadata.json. I need restore this data on my local pc, I tried used mongorestore

Answer 1

The mongorestore program writes data from a binary database dump created by mongodump to a MongoDB instance. While, mongoimport tool provides a route to import content from a JSON, CSV, or TSV export created by mongoexport, or potentially, another third-party export tool.

You have .json files. So, you can try mongoimport:

mongoimport --db  --collection  /data.json
