FireFoo CLI Import

This utility imports data exported from the FireFoo desktop tool in its JSONL format.

Newline-Separated JSONL Files

This utility imports data exported in JSONL format. Why?

• There is no limit to the number of documents that can be imported. JSON imports could require the entire file to be loaded in memory.
• JSONL are easier to deal with, as FireFoo has essentially flattened the sub-collection tree for you ahead of time.
