Component/s: BSON
Today in mongo-cxx-driver, there are several ways of constructing a BSON object
http://mongodb.github.io/mongo-cxx-driver/mongocxx-v3/working-with-bson/
None of them provides a JSON-like way despite the fact it exists generally to construct JSON documents
https://github.com/nlohmann/json
I propose to use a similar construction to build BSON documents. Then, we will be able to write:
document friends {{"friend",{{"_id", json::id{}}, {"name","jean"}, {"dob",1970}}}};
instead of
bsoncxx::document::value = document{} << "friends" << open_document << "_id" << bsoncxx::oid() << "name" << "jean" << " dob" << 1970 << close_document << finalize;
I started the development of it
