I want now to import this data into my MongoDB instance. When I tried the following, I ran into some errors:
mongoimport --db /Users/joe/mongodb-data -c points --file "gemeinden_simplify200.geojson" --jsonArray
connected to: 127.0.0.1
assertion: 13106 nextSafe(): { $err: "Invalid ns [/Users/joe/mongodb-data.points]", code: 16256 }

Answer 1

I think you need to try-
mongoimport --db test -c points --file "gemeinden_simplify200.geojson" --jsonArray
Here test is database name.
