mongodb-log2ejson

This little helper module converts MongoDB native types printed in log files into extended JSON strict format.

When MongoDB (version 2.8.0 and below) prints certain types to log files (e.g. for slow queries), it uses a custom format that is neither strict eJSON nor shell syntax. This module parses the different types and converts them to strict eJSON.

See also ticket SERVER-16618 in MongoDB's Jira.

Usage

var parser = require('mongodb-log2ejson');

var parsed = parser('{ created: new Date(1388534400000) }');
console.log(parsed);

// output: { created: { "$date": "2014-01-01T00:00:00.000Z" } }

Test

run mocha.
