MongoDB allows keys that contain dots:
Field names can contain dots (i.e. .) and dollar signs (i.e. $).
Source: https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/limits/#Restrictions-on-Field-Names
However, the Node driver prohibits them and throws the following error:
Error: key my.key.with.dots must not contain '.'
