Mongo import batch of collections

Pavan_Kumar17 · 2025-04-08T11:15:17.403Z

The process of importing multiple JSON files into MongoDB is something that feels unnecessarily manual. Ideally, MongoDB could provide a GUI-based tool or an automated utility that can batch-import files directly into corresponding collections without having to script it . Do you have any existing utility, that can be used to perform perfom batch imports…? or any plans for future.?

Hi Pavan,

Welcome to the MongoDB forums!

I think you need something like: mongoimport. An example command would be:

mongoimport --uri "mongodb+srv://cluster0.your-cluster-here.mongodb.net/" --username your-user  -d harddrives -c hds   --drop --stopOnError --jsonArray  data/players22.json

Where harddrives is the database and hds is the collection where we are importing.

Hope this helps
