      Original Downstream Change Summary

      Users can convert JSON strings to BSON via $convert or the shorthand expressions $toObject and $toArray. See WRITING-31886 for more details.

      Description of Linked Ticket

      Currently, users rely on the $function expression and JSON.parse to convert a string value to a JSON object. For example, this may be required for some legacy apps with documents where a JSON was stored as a string and the user wants to update such documents and store the values as JSON objects.

      The new API can be an extension to the existing $convert expression, or a new expression.
