SYNOPSIS¶

char *
bson_as_relaxed_extended_json (const bson_t *bson, size_t *length);

PARAMETERS¶

DESCRIPTION¶

bson_as_relaxed_extended_json() <> encodes bson as a UTF-8 string in Relaxed Extended JSON. See MongoDB Extended JSON format <https://github.com/mongodb/specifications/blob/master/source/extended-json/extended-json.md> for a description of Extended JSON formats.

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.

EXAMPLE¶

bson_t *b = BCON_NEW("foo", BCON_INT32(123));
char *str = bson_as_relaxed_extended_json(b, NULL);
printf("Relaxed Extended JSON: %s\n", str);
// Prints:
// Relaxed Extended JSON: { "foo" : 123 }
bson_free(str);
bson_destroy(b);
