            <title>[SERVER-75924] Un-deprecate BSON type Symbol (14)</title>
                <link>https://jira.mongodb.org/browse/SERVER-75924</link>
                <project id="10000" key="SERVER">Core Server</project>
                    <description>&lt;p&gt;The BSON Symbol type has been &quot;deprecated&quot; for over 11 years &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/mongodb/bsonspec.org/commit/b5b60d6eca910a139a91736922cc04dc30ccdb34&quot; class=&quot;external-link&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot;&gt;https://github.com/mongodb/bsonspec.org/commit/b5b60d6eca910a139a91736922cc04dc30ccdb34&lt;/a&gt; but yet there doesn&apos;t seem to be any plan to actually remove it. Removing it would break a lot of client apps esp. in languages like Ruby that support symbols/atoms. For these languages, its quite useful to be able to persist MongoDB data in a way that mirror the application&apos;s memory structure.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Moreover it the deprecation &quot;limbo&quot; status seems to be perennial source of confusion/issues, e.g.&#160;&lt;a href=&quot;https://jira.mongodb.org/browse/RUBY-1320&quot; title=&quot;Cleanup of Symbol confusion&quot; class=&quot;issue-link&quot; data-issue-key=&quot;RUBY-1320&quot;&gt;&lt;del&gt;RUBY-1320&lt;/del&gt;&lt;/a&gt;,&#160;&lt;a href=&quot;https://jira.mongodb.org/browse/NODE-2518&quot; title=&quot;BSON loses type information when automatically upgrading symbols to strings&quot; class=&quot;issue-link&quot; data-issue-key=&quot;NODE-2518&quot;&gt;&lt;del&gt;NODE-2518&lt;/del&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, SWIFT-153&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Doesn&apos;t the MongoDB team think it might be better to undeprecate Symbol and instead make some guidelines about how it can be used in both languages like Ruby which have a symbol type, and languages like Javascript which do not?&lt;/p&gt;</description>
