MongoDB $oid vs ObjectId

Question

I\'m trying to get mongodb query working. Collection comes in the format:

{
\"_id\": {
    \"$oid\": \"54651022bffebc03098b4567\"
},
\"browser\": \"ie\",
\"b         


        

Answer 1

The MongoLab UI uses Strict MongoDB Extended JSON so Object IDs are represented thusly, as in the second code block of the OP:

{ "$oid": "<id>" }
