JSON referencing MongoDB ObjectID

[Tucsonjhall <Jh...@cactusware.com>]

I'm working with a company that uses MongoDB and their specs for push JSON to
their endpoint includes an ObjectId("3023493820") whatever. I've done some
Googling put I'm still not sure how I would work in that mongo class object
using JSON.stringify. Any suggestions?

Hi,
IIRIC, the MongoDB ObjectId is typed as BSON.
To learn a bit more about the MongoDB ObjectId, maybe this is helpful
[1][2].

Even if it seems that it's not the case for you, maybe this [3] helps to
understand that "the _id doesn't necessarily have to be an ObjectID."

I found an AS3 implementation of BSON, but I never checked it out, so I
don't know if it works [4].

There are also some outdated MongoDB AS3 drivers out there [5][6][7][8],
maybe you could use parts of if. I guess [6][7][8] would be very helpful
because they proivide an ObjectId class!

Hope this helps,
Olaf
