Use Case

As a MongoDB user I want to use UUID directly in my JS object I send to MongoDB and receive UUID instances back from Node.js MongoDB APIs, so that I can remove boilerplate translations to/from BSON Binary.

User Impact

Anyone using UUID Binary values in their documents. UUID is a common alternative to ObjectId.

Dependencies

• Our BSON serializer and deserializer
• UUID driver spec
• our UUID implementation

Acceptance Criteria

• Create a document outlining the desired API including excerpts from the UUID spec relevant to the Binary formatting rules
• Clarify how and which layers of the code will accept the uuidRepresentation option
