BSON_VALIDATE_FLAGS_T(3)	    libbson	      BSON_VALIDATE_FLAGS_T(3)

Document validation options

SYNOPSIS
	  #include <bson/bson-types.h>

	  typedef enum {
	    BSON_VALIDATE_NONE = 0,
	    BSON_VALIDATE_UTF8 = (1 << 0),
	    BSON_VALIDATE_DOLLAR_KEYS =	(1 << 1),
	    BSON_VALIDATE_DOT_KEYS = (1	<< 2),
	    BSON_VALIDATE_UTF8_ALLOW_NULL = (1 << 3),
	    BSON_VALIDATE_EMPTY_KEYS = (1 << 4),
	  } bson_validate_flags_t;

DESCRIPTION
       bson_validate_flags_t is	a set of binary	flags which may	be combined to
       specify a level of BSON document	validation.

       A  value	 of  0,	false, or BSON_VALIDATE_NONE equivalently requests the
       minimum applicable level	of validation.

       In    the    context    of     validation     APIs     bson_validate(),
       bson_validate_with_error(),  and	 bson_validate_with_error_and_offset()
       the minimum validation still guarantees that a document can be success-
       fully traversed by bson_iter_visit_all().

       Higher level APIs using this type may have different minimum validation
       levels.	For  example,  libmongoc  functions   that   take   bson_vali-
       date_flags_t  use  0  to	mean the document contents are not visited and
       malformed headers will not be detected by the client.

       Each defined flag aside from BSON_VALIDATE_NONE describes  an  optional
       validation  feature  that  may be enabled, alone	or in combination with
       other features:

        BSON_VALIDATE_NONE Minimum level of validation; in libbson, validates
	 element headers.

        BSON_VALIDATE_UTF8 All	keys and string	values are checked for invalid
	 UTF-8.

        BSON_VALIDATE_UTF8_ALLOW_NULL String values are allowed to  have  em-
	 bedded	NULL bytes.

        BSON_VALIDATE_DOLLAR_KEYS  Prohibit keys that start with $ outside of
	 a "DBRef" subdocument.

        BSON_VALIDATE_DOT_KEYS	Prohibit keys that contain . anywhere  in  the
	 string.

        BSON_VALIDATE_EMPTY_KEYS Prohibit zero-length keys.

       SEE ALSO:
	  bson_validate(), bson_validate_with_error(), bson_validate_with_error_and_offset().

	  bson_visitor_t can be	used for custom	validation, Example Custom Validation.
