Detailed Description

BSONElement represents an "element" in a BSONObj.

So for the object { a : 3, b : "abc" }, 'a : 3' is the first element (key+value).

The BSONElement object points into the BSONObj's data. Thus the BSONObj must stay in scope for the life of the BSONElement.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

mongo::BSONElement::BSONElement	(	const char *	d,
		int	fieldNameSize,
		FieldNameSizeTag
	)

inline

Construct a BSONElement where you already know the length of the name.

The value passed here includes the null terminator. The data pointed to by 'd' must not represent an EOO. You may pass -1 to indicate that you don't actually know the size.

Member Function Documentation

mongo::OID mongo::BSONElement::__oid ( ) const

inline

Retrieve the object ID stored in the object.

You must ensure the element is of type jstOID first.

double mongo::BSONElement::_numberDouble ( ) const

inline

Return double value for this field.

MUST be NumberDouble type.

int mongo::BSONElement::_numberInt ( ) const

inline

Return int value for this field.

MUST be NumberInt type.

long long mongo::BSONElement::_numberLong ( ) const

inline

Return long long value for this field.

MUST be NumberLong type.

const char* mongo::BSONElement::binData ( int & len ) const

inline

Get raw binary data.

Element must be of type BinData. Doesn't handle type 2 specially

const char* mongo::BSONElement::binDataClean ( int & len ) const

inline

Get binary data.

Element must be of type BinData. Handles type 2

bool mongo::BSONElement::boolean ( ) const

inline

Returns: value of a boolean element. You must assure element is a boolean before calling.

const char* mongo::BSONElement::codeWScopeCode ( ) const

inline

Get javascript code of a CodeWScope data element.

const char* mongo::BSONElement::codeWScopeScopeDataUnsafe ( ) const

inline

Get the scope SavedContext of a CodeWScope data element.

This function is DEPRECATED, since it can error if there are null chars in the codeWScopeCode. However, some existing indexes may be based on an incorrect ordering derived from this function, so it may still need to be used in certain cases.

Date_t mongo::BSONElement::date ( ) const

inline

Retrieve a java style date value from the element.

Ensure element is of type Date before calling.

See also: Bool(), trueValue()

BSONObj mongo::BSONElement::embeddedObject ( ) const

Get the embedded object this element holds.

const char* mongo::BSONElement::fieldName ( ) const

inline

field name of the element.

e.g., for name : "Joe" "name" is the fieldname

bool mongo::BSONElement::isNull ( ) const

inline

True if element is null.

bool mongo::BSONElement::isNumber ( ) const

inline

True if element is of a numeric type.

Returns: true if element is of a numeric type.

bool mongo::BSONElement::mayEncapsulate ( ) const

inline

True if this element may contain subobjects.

double mongo::BSONElement::number ( ) const

inline

Retrieve the numeric value of the element.

If not of a numeric type, returns 0. Note: casts to double, data loss may occur with large (>52 bit) NumberLong values.

double mongo::BSONElement::numberDouble ( ) const

inline

Retrieve the numeric value of the element.

If not of a numeric type, returns 0. Note: casts to double, data loss may occur with large (>52 bit) NumberLong values.

int mongo::BSONElement::numberInt ( ) const

inline

Retrieve int value for the element safely.

Zero returned if not a number.

Zero returned if not a number. Converted to int if another numeric type.

long long mongo::BSONElement::numberLong ( ) const

inline

Retrieve long value for the element safely.

Zero returned if not a number. Behavior is not defined for double values that are NaNs, or too large/small to be represented by long longs

Zero returned if not a number.

BSONObj mongo::BSONElement::Obj ( ) const

Returns: the embedded object associated with this field. Note the returned object is a reference to within the parent bson object. If that object is out of scope, this pointer will no longer be valid. Call getOwned() on the returned BSONObj if you need your own copy. throws UserException if the element is not of type object.

bool mongo::BSONElement::operator!= ( const BSONElement & r ) const

inline

Returns true if elements are unequal.

bool mongo::BSONElement::operator== ( const BSONElement & r ) const

inline

Returns true if elements are equal.

long long mongo::BSONElement::safeNumberLong ( ) const

inline

Like numberLong() but with well-defined behavior for doubles that are NaNs, or too large/small to be represented as long longs.

NaNs -> 0 very large doubles -> LLONG_MAX very small doubles -> LLONG_MIN

int mongo::BSONElement::size ( int maxLen ) const

Size of the element.

Parameters

maxLen If maxLen is specified, don't scan more than maxLen bytes to calculate size.

std::string mongo::BSONElement::str ( ) const

inline

Get the string value of the element.

If not a string returns "".

std::string mongo::BSONElement::String ( ) const

inline

These functions, which start with a capital letter, throw a MsgAssertionException if the element is not of the required type.

Example:

std::string foo = obj["foo"].String(); // std::exception if not a std::string type or DNE

void mongo::BSONElement::Val ( Date_t & v ) const

inline

populate v with the value of the element.

If type does not match, throw exception. useful in templates – see also BSONObj::Vals().

const char* mongo::BSONElement::value ( ) const

inline

raw data of the element's value (so be careful).

int mongo::BSONElement::valuesize ( ) const

inline

size in bytes of the element's value (when applicable).

const char* mongo::BSONElement::valuestr ( ) const

inline

Get a string's value.

Also gives you start of the real data for an embedded object. You must assure data is of an appropriate type first – see also valuestrsafe().

const StringData mongo::BSONElement::valueStringData ( ) const

inline

Returns a StringData pointing into this element's data.

Does not validate that the element is actually of type String.

const char* mongo::BSONElement::valuestrsafe ( ) const

inline

Get the string value of the element.

If not a string returns "".

int mongo::BSONElement::valuestrsize ( ) const

inline

Size (length) of a string element.

You must assure of type String first.

Returns: string size including terminating null

int mongo::BSONElement::woCompare	(	const BSONElement &	e,
		bool	considerFieldName = `true`
	)		const

Well ordered comparison.

Returns: <0: l<r. 0:l==r. >0:l>r order by type, field name, and field value. If considerFieldName is true, pay attention to the field name.

BSONObj mongo::BSONElement::wrap ( ) const

Wrap this element up as a singleton object.

BSONObj mongo::BSONElement::wrap ( const StringData & newName ) const

Wrap this element up as a singleton object with a new name.
