Hello,

If the JSON file contains a document with an invalid JSON document, the import will fail and it won't skip it to continue. It think it is a good default behaviour, but there are some cases where it is ok to skip the malformed document and continue the import.

For example:

{"_id":{"$oid":"5d0262232553044cf43488fc"},"name":"\"}
{"_id":{"$oid":"5d0262232553044cf43488fd"},"name":"hehe"}

It fails with:

Failed: error processing document #1: invalid character '\n' in string literal

This ticket is to ask for a mongoimport command line option that allows the tool to skip "invalid character" errors and continue with the next documents. Of course, those errors should be logged anyway.
