Force mongodb to output strict JSON
问题 I want to consume the raw output of some MongoDB commands in other programs that speak JSON. When I run commands in the mongo shell, they represent Extended JSON, fields in "shell mode", with special fields like NumberLong , Date , and Timestamp . I see references in the documentation to "strict mode", but I see no way to turn it on for the shell, or a way to run commands like db.serverStatus() in things that do output strict JSON, like mongodump . How can I force Mongo to output standards
