Summary
When exporting a MongoDB collection to JSON, the resulting format is extended JSON. Trying to load such a JSON file into
JSONStore
currently fails due to the way extended JSON serializesObjectID
, with an error similar toThis PR modifies
JSONStore.read_json
to use thebson.json_util.loads
method if$oid
is detected in the file, which allows loading extended JSON files into aJSONStore
. If$oid
is not there, the currentorjson.loads()
is used instead.Unfortunately.
orjson.loads
does not support BSON types. This was requested before, although it isn't clear if the maintainer understood the request.Happy to hear opinions if there are better ways to accomplish this, e.g. by leveraging
serialization_helper
,MontyDecoder
, etc. and/or opening anotherorjson
issue with a more specific request about how to handle these types.
