    It's just too hard. Even for finding a doc. Found this live saver:

    The BSONDocument object has a jsonSerialize method. Use that:

Example

{"_id" : 12345,
    "filename" : "myfile",
    "header" : {
        "version" : 2,
        "registry" : "test",
        "serial" : 20080215,
        "records" : 17806,
        "startDate" : 19850701,
        "endDate" : 20080214
    },
}

$connect = new MongoDB\Client('mongodb://yourconnection');
$db = $connect->YourDB;
$collection = $db->YourCollection;

$test = $collection->findOne(array("_id"=>12345));
$data = $test->jsonSerialize();

echo $data->_id;
echo $data->filename;
Will output this:

12345
myfile
