Code Summary: Data Import Tools

Review the following code, which demonstrates how to use the mongoimport tool.

The following command imports the documents from the export.json file into a collection called newCollection in the test database at the URI "mongodb+srv://dbaTestAdmin@cluster1.xwgj1.mongodb.net/". It drops existing data in the new collection before inserting the documents from the export file.

 mongoimport \
 -v \
