JSON issue with MongoDB ObjectId

Question

As you know MongoDB documents has at least one ObjectId named _id. It's not possible to convert a document contains an ObjectId to JSON. currently I have two solutions to convert this document to JSON:

del doc['_id']

or create a new document with a string instance of that field.

What it just works when I know which field contains ObjectId. What to do if I have multiple ObjectId and I don't know what are they?

this is vague - It's not possible to convert a document contains an objectId to json — Van Peer

MongoDB returns a BSON (not a JSON) document, so actually you want to convert a BSON document into JSON document.

Try to take a look into this artickle: https://technobeans.com/2012/09/10/mongodb-convert-bson-to-json/
