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

       The  bson_as_json() function shall encode bson as a UTF-8 string using libbson's legacy JSON format. This
       function is superseded by bson_as_canonical_extended_json()  and  bson_as_relaxed_extended_json(),  which
       use the same MongoDB Extended JSON format as all other MongoDB drivers.

       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

          #include <bson/bson.h>

          int main ()
          {
             bson_t bson;
             char *str;

             bson_init (&bson);
             BSON_APPEND_UTF8 (&bson, "0", "foo");
             BSON_APPEND_UTF8 (&bson, "1", "bar");

             str = bson_as_json (&bson, NULL);
             /* Prints
              * { "0" : "foo", "1" : "bar" }
              */
             printf ("%s\n", str);
             bson_free (str);

             bson_destroy (&bson);
          }
