bson_append_array_begin()¶

Synopsis¶

bool
bson_append_array_begin (bson_t *bson,
                         const char *key,
                         int key_length,
                         bson_t *child);

Parameters¶

bson: A bson_t.
key: A string containing the name for the key.
key_length: The length of key or -1 to call strlen().
child: A bson_t.

Description¶

The bson_append_array_begin() function shall begin appending an array field to bson. This allows for incrementally building a sub-array. Doing so will generally yield better performance as you will serialize to a single buffer. When done building the sub-array, the caller MUST call bson_append_array_end().

Returns¶

true if the operation was applied successfully, otherwise false and bson should be discarded.
