+# Importing data to MongoDB
+
+We can use the command line to import data into a Mongo database. We can also combine the importing of data with the creation of a database:
+
+```bash
+mongoimport --db [preexisting_or_new_database name] --collection [collection_name] --file sourcedata.json --jsonArray
+```
+
+We use `--jsonArray` to indicate the format of the data we are importing. 
+
+Once this has executed, the data will be visible in Compass.
