You'll find the answer to your question in the source code of https://github.com/mongodb/mongo/blob/master/src/mongo/db/jsobj.cpp Which has the BSON to JSON conversion.

Basically, stuff like

• ObjectId("XXX") -> { "$oid" : "XXX" }
• /XXX/gi -> { "$regex" : "XXX", "$options" : "gi" }

and so on...
