bson_as_json()#
Warning
Deprecated since version 1.29.0: Use bson_as_canonical_extended_json() and bson_as_relaxed_extended_json() instead, which use the same MongoDB Extended JSON format as all other MongoDB drivers.
To continue producing Legacy Extended JSON, use bson_as_legacy_extended_json().
Synopsis#
char *
bson_as_json (const bson_t *bson, size_t *length);
Parameters#
bson: A bson_t.length: An optional location for the length of the resulting string.
Description#
bson_as_json() encodes bson as a UTF-8 string using libbson’s Legacy Extended JSON.
The caller is responsible for freeing the resulting UTF-8 encoded string by calling bson_free() with the result.
If non-NULL, length will be set to the length of the result in bytes.
Returns#
If successful, a newly allocated UTF-8 encoded string and length is set.
Upon failure, NULL is returned.
