1.30.4 Jun 08, 2025 BSON_AS_RELAXED_EXTENDED_JSON(3)
Description
bson_as_relaxed_extended_json() encodes bson as a UTF-8 string in Relaxed Extended JSON. See MongoDBExtendedJSONformat 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.
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);
Parameters
• bson: A bson_t.
• length: An optional location for the length of the resulting string.
Returns
If successful, a newly allocated UTF-8 encoded string and length is set.
Upon failure, NULL is returned.
