Importing json into couchdb such that each object becomes a document - json

Question

I have a JSON file in the following format:
"rows": [
{
"key": [
null,
null,
"dco_test_group",
"3d3ce6270fdfuashge12e1d41af93179",
"test_djougou"
],
"value": {
"lat": "31.538208354844658",
"long": "91.98762580927113"
}
},
{
"key": [
null,
null,
"dco_test_group",
"4cda7jhsadgfs6123hsdaa9069ade2",
"test_ouake"
],
"value": {
"lat": "59.696798503352547",
"long": "11.6626995307082464"
}
},
I want to import the file such that each object inside rows becomes a couchdb document. Right now, I have the following code:
curl -X PUT --data-binary #"C:\Users\me\Dropbox (Personal)\Research\Folder\location.json" http://127.0.0.1:5984/db/document_name
This adds all the data inside document_name.
If I try:
curl -X PUT --data-binary #"C:\Users\me\Dropbox (Personal)\Research\Folder\location.json" http://127.0.0.1:5984/db
a new db is created but no data gets added. How do I edit the code to get the desired output?
UPDATE 1
Does it matter if all the data is in record? Are there any rules analogous to 5 normal forms of RDB?

Use the bulk-document-api for this. Here is an example from the docs >> https://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/HTTP_Bulk_Document_API#Modify_Multiple_Documents_With_a_Single_Request
$ DB="http://127.0.0.1:5984/mydb"
$ curl -H "Content-type:application/json" -d '{"docs":[{"key":"baz","name":"bazzel"},{"key":"bar","name":"barry"}]}' -X POST $DB/_bulk_docs
$ curl -H "Content-type:application/json" -d #your_file.json -X POST $DB/_bulk_docs
Note, that all docs are items within a 'docs' array.
