  <a href="http://www.adityabansod.net/2014/11/" rel="nofollow">http://www.adityabansod.net/2014/11/</a></p>
  
  <p>When I get to the command:</p>
  
  <pre><code>mongoimport --db sfstreets --collection streets &lt; sweeping_clean.json
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I get this error:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Failed: error processing document #2: invalid character ':' looking
    for beginning of value</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Here's what the file looks like (or its first 3 rows):</p>
