MONGOC_COLLECTION_T(3)

💅 MONGOC_COLLECTION_T(3) 💅

okay bestie, so this one lives in libmongoc and it's literally the little handle that unlocks a whole MongoDB collection — like your own personal VIP pass to a shelf of documents 👑

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

typedef struct _mongoc_collection_t mongoc_collection_t;

So mongoc_collection_t gives you access to a MongoDB collection. No cap, this handle is useful for actions for most CRUD operations — I.e. insert, update, delete, find, etc. 🫶 That's your main character struct right there.

🎀 READ PREFERENCES AND WRITE CONCERNS 🎀

okay so here's the vibe: read preferences and write concerns are inherited from the parent client. They can be overridden by set_* commands if so desired. 💖 So like, you don't have to set them up from scratch — they come down from the client, and you only step in with set_* when you wanna switch it up. periodt.
