BSON_JSON_MODE_T(3)

💅 BSON_JSON_MODE_T(3) 💅

ok so this is a page from the libbson manual, and honestly? it's a short one, bestie. we're talking about the BSON JSON encoding mode enumeration ✨ — yes that's the whole name line, slay.

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

like, here's the literal vibe:

#include <bson/bson.h>

typedef enum {
   BSON_JSON_MODE_LEGACY,
   BSON_JSON_MODE_CANONICAL,
   BSON_JSON_MODE_RELAXED,
} bson_json_mode_t;

copy it exactly bestie, no typos, we don't do that here 🎀

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so bson_json_mode_t is this enum and it's literally a little menu of modes 🍓 — it contains all the available modes for encoding BSON into MongoDB Extended JSON. that's it. that's the whole job. main character energy, no notes 💅

and the three options on the menu are, in order:

• BSON_JSON_MODE_LEGACY — the legacy one 🌸
• BSON_JSON_MODE_CANONICAL — the canonical one 👑
• BSON_JSON_MODE_RELAXED — the relaxed one 🧚

(that's the entire enum, she's short and iconic, periodt ✨)
