typedef struct _bson_array_builder_t bson_array_builder_t;

bson_array_builder_t may be used to build BSON arrays. bson_array_builder_t internally tracks and uses the array index as a key ("0", "1", "2", ...) when appending elements.

APPENDING AN ARRAY VALUE

typedef struct _bson_array_builder_t bson_array_builder_t;
bool
bson_append_array_builder_begin (bson_t *bson,


                                 const char *key,


                                 int key_length,


                                 bson_array_builder_t **child);
bool
bson_append_array_builder_end (bson_t *bson, bson_array_builder_t *child);
#define BSON_APPEND_ARRAY_BUILDER_BEGIN(b, key, child) \


  bson_append_array_builder_begin (b, key, (int) strlen (key), child)

bson_append_array_builder_begin may be used to append an array as a value. Example:

bson_t parent = BSON_INITIALIZER;
bson_array_builder_t *bab;
bson_append_array_builder_begin (&parent, "foo", 3, &bab);
bson_array_builder_append_int32 (bab, 9);
bson_array_builder_append_int32 (bab, 8);
bson_array_builder_append_int32 (bab, 7);
bson_append_array_builder_end (&parent, bab);
char *str = bson_as_relaxed_extended_json (&parent, NULL);
printf ("%s\n", str); // Prints: { "foo" : [ 9, 8, 7 ] }
bson_free (str);
bson_destroy (&parent);

CREATING A TOP-LEVEL ARRAY

bson_array_builder_t * bson_array_builder_new (void);
bool
bson_array_builder_build (bson_array_builder_t *bab, bson_t *out);
void
bson_array_builder_destroy (bson_array_builder_t *bab);

bson_array_builder_new and bson_array_builder_build may be used to build a top-level BSON array. bson_array_builder_build initializes and moves BSON data to out. The bson_array_builder_t may be reused and will start appending a new array at index "0":

Example:

bson_t out;
bson_array_builder_t *bab = bson_array_builder_new ();
bson_array_builder_append_int32 (bab, 9);
bson_array_builder_append_int32 (bab, 8);
bson_array_builder_append_int32 (bab, 7);
bson_array_builder_build (bab, &out);
char *str = bson_array_as_relaxed_extended_json (&out, NULL);
printf ("%s\n", str); // Prints: [ 9, 8, 7 ]
bson_free (str);
bson_array_builder_destroy (bab);

APPENDING VALUES TO AN ARRAY

bson_array_builder_append_* functions are provided to append values to a BSON array. The bson_array_builder_append_* functions internally use bson_append_* and provide the array index as a key:
