It is an open-source document database, that stores the data in the form of key-value pairs. JSON stands for JavaScript Object Notation. It is an open standard file format, and data interchange format with an extension ".json", that uses human-readable text to store and transmit data objects consisting of attribute-value pairs and array data types. Importing JSON file in MongoDB To import a JSON file in MongoDB we have to first load or open the JSON file after that we can easily insert that file into the database or the collection. To load a JSON file we have to first import json in our code after that we can open the JSON file. When our file gets loaded or opened we can easily insert it into the collection and operate on that file. Let's see the example for better understanding. Example : Sample JSON used: Python3 import json from pymongo import MongoClient # Making Connection myclient = MongoClient("mongodb://localhost:27017/") # database db = myclient["GFG"] # Created or Switched to collection # names: GeeksForGeeks Collection = db["data"] # Loading or Opening the json file with open('data.json') as file: file_data = json.load(file) # Inserting the loaded data in the Collection # if JSON contains data more than one entry # insert_many is used else insert_one is used if isinstance(file_data, list): Collection.insert_many(file_data) else: Collection.insert_one(file_data) Output: Create Quiz Comment V VishwashVishwakarma Follow 2 Improve V VishwashVishwakarma Follow 2 Improve Article Tags : Python Python-mongoDB Explore Python FundamentalsPython Introduction 2 min read Input and Output in Python 4 min read Python Variables 4 min read Python Operators 4 min read Python Keywords 2 min read Python Data Types 8 min read Conditional Statements in Python 3 min read Loops in Python - For, While and Nested Loops 5 min read Python Functions 5 min read Recursion in Python 4 min read Python Lambda Functions 5 min read Python Data StructuresPython String 5 min read Python Lists 4 min read Python Tuples 4 min read Python Dictionary 3 min read Python Sets 6 min read Python Arrays 7 min read List Comprehension in Python 4 min read Advanced PythonPython OOP Concepts 11 min read Python Exception Handling 5 min read File Handling in Python 4 min read Python Database Tutorial 4 min read Python MongoDB Tutorial 3 min read Python MySQL 9 min read Python Packages 10 min read Python Modules 3 min read Python DSA Libraries 15 min read List of Python GUI Library and Packages 3 min read Data Science with PythonNumPy Tutorial - Python Library 3 min read Pandas Tutorial 4 min read Matplotlib Tutorial 5 min read Python Seaborn Tutorial 3 min read StatsModel Library - Tutorial 3 min read Learning Model Building in Scikit-learn 6 min read TensorFlow Tutorial 2 min read PyTorch Tutorial 6 min read Web Development with PythonFlask Tutorial 8 min read Django Tutorial | Learn Django Framework 7 min read Django ORM - Inserting, Updating & Deleting Data 4 min read Templating With Jinja2 in Flask 6 min read Django Templates 5 min read Build a REST API using Flask - Python 3 min read Building a Simple API with Django REST Framework 3 min read Python PracticePython Quiz 1 min read Python Coding Practice 1 min read Python Interview Questions and Answers 15+ min read Like
