Importing mongoDB dump to arangoDB

Question

I need to import everything that exists in a particular database in mongoDB to arangoDB. I can dump the mongoDB data as:

mongodump -d "database_name" -u "user_name" -p "password"

Which will then dump the database to a dump folder.

Now I need to import this dump to my arangoDB database. How do I do this ?

Answer 1

A method you can try is to first export your Mongo database into a JSON file as:

mongoexport --db databaseName --collection collectionName --out dump.json

Once you've obtained the JSON file you can try to import it into Arango using arangoimp

arangoimp --file dump.json --collection collectionName --create-collection true

• mongoexport
• arangoimp
