bson_append_array()

Synopsis

#define BSON_APPEND_ARRAY(b, key, val) \
   bson_append_array (b, key, (int) strlen (key), val)

bool
bson_append_array (bson_t *bson,
                   const char *key,
                   int key_length,
                   const bson_t *array);

Parameters

  • bson: A bson_t.
  • key: An ASCII C string containing the name of the field.
  • key_length: The length of key in bytes, or -1 to determine the length with strlen().
  • array: A bson_t.

Description

The bson_append_array() function shall append child to bson using the specified key. The type of the field will be an array, but it is the responsibility of the caller to ensure that the keys of child are properly formatted with string keys such as “0”, “1”, “2” and so forth.

Returns

Returns true if the operation was applied successfully. The function fails if appending the array grows bson larger than INT32_MAX.
