You can import master data records pertaining to an entity onto the Talend MDM Server from a local JSON file.

Usually, these data records are those that are exported from the Talend MDM Server to a local copy to do some mass modifications. If a data record to be imported does not exist in Talend MDM Server, it will get created. Otherwise, it will get updated.
