NAME

6       bson_json - JSON
7
8       Libbson  provides  routines for converting to and from the JSON format.
9       In particular, it supports the MongoDB extended JSON format.
10

CONVERTING BSON TO JSON

12       There are often times where you might want to convert a  BSON  document
13       to  JSON. It is convenient for debugging as well as an interchange for‐
14       mat. To help with this, Libbson contains the functions  bson_as_canoni‐
15       cal_extended_json()  and bson_as_relaxed_extended_json(). The canonical
16       format preserves BSON type information for values that may have ambigu‐
17       ous representations in JSON (e.g. numeric types).
18
19          bson_t *b;
20          size_t len;
21          char *str;
22
23          b = BCON_NEW ("a", BCON_INT32 (1));
24
25          str = bson_as_canonical_extended_json (b, &len);
26          printf ("%s\n", str);
27          bson_free (str);
28
29          bson_destroy (b);
30
31          { "a" : { "$numberInt": "1" } }
32
33       The  relaxed  format prefers JSON primitives for numeric values and may
34       be used if type fidelity is not required.
35
36          bson_t *b;
37          size_t len;
38          char *str;
39
40          b = BCON_NEW ("a", BCON_INT32 (1));
41
42          str = bson_as_relaxed_extended_json (b, &len);
43          printf ("%s\n", str);
44          bson_free (str);
45
46          bson_destroy (b);
47
48          { "a" : 1 }
49

CONVERTING JSON TO BSON

51       Converting back from JSON is also useful  and  common  enough  that  we
52       added bson_init_from_json() and bson_new_from_json().
53
54       The  following  example  creates  a  new  bson_t  from  the JSON string
55       {"a":1}.
56
57          bson_t *b;
58          bson_error_t error;
59
60          b = bson_new_from_json ("{\"a\":1}", -1, &error);
61
62          if (!b) {
63             printf ("Error: %s\n", error.message);
64          } else {
65             bson_destroy (b);
66          }
67

STREAMING JSON PARSING

69       Libbson provides bson_json_reader_t to allow for parsing a sequence  of
70       JSON documents into BSON. The interface is similar to bson_reader_t but
71       expects the input to be in the MongoDB extended JSON format.

163       to stdout as JSON.
