Question

As far as I can tell, more recent versions of Newtonsoft can actually do this now, no additional work required.

I was working with the binary version however, and this did still have the issue - I had a test where you could configure to use binary or json, and the json version worked just fine, but the binary complained about not getting an array type.

I started using the BsonDataReader for this, and was looking through the properties and methods on it to see how I could best look at the contents, and lo and behold, this had a property called:

reader.ReadRootValueAsArray 

Setting this to 'true' did the trick.
