MongoDB\BSON\toCanonicalExtendedJSON

(mongodb >=1.3.0)

MongoDB\BSON\toCanonicalExtendedJSONReturns the Canonical Extended JSON representation of a BSON value

Warning

This function has been DEPRECATED as of extension version 1.20.0 and will be removed in 2.0. Applications should use MongoDB\BSON\Document::toCanonicalExtendedJSON() instead.

Description

MongoDB\BSON\toCanonicalExtendedJSON(string $bson): string

Converts a BSON string to its » Canonical Extended JSON representation. The canonical format prefers type fidelity at the expense of concise output and is most suited for producing output that can be converted back to BSON without any loss of type information (e.g. numeric types will remain differentiated).

Parameters

bson (string)

BSON value to be converted.

Return Values

The converted JSON value.

Errors/Exceptions

Example #1 MongoDB\BSON\toCanonicalExtendedJSON() example

<?php

$documents
= [
[
'null' => null ],
[
'boolean' => true ],
[
'string' => 'foo' ],
[
'int32' => 123 ],
[
'int64' => 4294967295 ],
[
'double' => 1.0, ],
[
'nan' => NAN ],
[
'pos_inf' => INF ],
[
'neg_inf' => -INF ],
[
'array' => [ 'foo', 'bar' ]],
[
'document' => [ 'foo' => 'bar' ]],
[
'oid' => new MongoDB\BSON\ObjectId('56315a7c6118fd1b920270b1') ],
[
'dec128' => new MongoDB\BSON\Decimal128('1234.5678') ],
[
'binary' => new MongoDB\BSON\Binary('foo', MongoDB\BSON\Binary::TYPE_GENERIC) ],
[
'date' => new MongoDB\BSON\UTCDateTime(1445990400000) ],
[
'timestamp' => new MongoDB\BSON\Timestamp(1234, 5678) ],
[
'regex' => new MongoDB\BSON\Regex('pattern', 'i') ],
[
'code' => new MongoDB\BSON\Javascript('function() { return 1; }') ],
[
'code_ws' => new MongoDB\BSON\Javascript('function() { return a; }', ['a' => 1]) ],
[
'minkey' => new MongoDB\BSON\MinKey ],
[
'maxkey' => new MongoDB\BSON\MaxKey ],
];

foreach (
$documents as $document) {
$bson = MongoDB\BSON\fromPHP($document);
echo
MongoDB\BSON\toCanonicalExtendedJSON($bson), "\n";
}

?>

The above example will output:

{ "null" : null }
{ "boolean" : true }
{ "string" : "foo" }
{ "int32" : { "$numberInt" : "123" } }
{ "int64" : { "$numberLong" : "4294967295"} }
{ "double" : { "$numberDouble" : "1.0" } }
{ "nan" : { "$numberDouble" : "NaN" } }
{ "pos_inf" : { "$numberDouble" : "Infinity" } }
{ "neg_inf" : { "$numberDouble" : "-Infinity" } }
{ "array" : [ "foo", "bar" ] }
{ "document" : { "foo" : "bar" } }
{ "oid" : { "$oid" : "56315a7c6118fd1b920270b1" } }
{ "dec128" : { "$numberDecimal" : "1234.5678" } }
{ "binary" : { "$binary" : { "base64": "Zm9v", "subType" : "00" } } }
{ "date" : { "$date" : { "$numberLong" : "1445990400000" } } }
{ "timestamp" : { "$timestamp" : { "t" : 5678, "i" : 1234 } } }
{ "regex" : { "$regularExpression" : { "pattern" : "pattern", "options" : "i" } } }
{ "code" : { "$code" : "function() { return 1; }" } }
{ "code_ws" : { "$code" : "function() { return a; }", "$scope" : { "a" : { "$numberInt" : "1" } } } }
{ "minkey" : { "$minKey" : 1 } }
{ "maxkey" : { "$maxKey" : 1 } }
