Question

I have a mongodb database file, which is a dump of some production data. I need to populate my local database with this data. How could I do that? Maybe some monogoimport features exist for that case?

I think you are looking for mongorestore utility:

mongorestore --host localhost
             --port 27017 
             --username user 
             --password pass /backup/dump

There is one more tool mongoexport, but it produces a json or csv.
