LIBBSON_LEGACY_EXTENDED_JSON(3)      libbson	 LIBBSON_LEGACY_EXTENDED_JSON(3)

libbson can produce a non-portable Legacy Extended JSON format.

WARNING:
	Use  of the Legacy Extended JSON format is discouraged. Prefer Canonical
	Extended JSON or Relaxed Extended JSON for portability.

     MongoDB Extended JSON (v2) describes the preferred  Relaxed  Extended  JSON
     format and Canonical Extended Formats

     libbson's	Legacy	Extended  JSON format matches Relaxed Extended JSON with
     the following exceptions. Notation is borrowed from MongoDB  Extended  JSON
     (v2):
