unexpected char in the current parser context - about mongohub-mac HOT 11 CLOSED

no, but this should work : { "creationDate": { "$gte": { "$date" : timestamp_as_integer } } }

from mongohub-mac.

Unfortunately, MongoHub supports only strict json.

I hope to change that later.

So in your case : {"_mentor":{"$oid":"123456"}}

You can leave this bug opened until mongohub supports TenGen (but don't expect anytime soon).

Weird, I swear this worked in the main repo version...

Same issue - damn annoying until I found this thread - how about changing the error message? That'd be easier than changing the support for strict JSON!

Sorry, I think I had some problems with the original implementation...if I removed, it definitely not for the "fun" :-).

If I'm not mistaken, the parsing was made using libboost. Keeping it was too painful. I had to find another way to parse the query. I didn't take too much time, since there are so many other things to do. The only parser I found was a strict json.

I agree it would be nice to parse TenGen.

So that means stuff like { "creationDate": { $gte: new Date(2012, 6, 5) } } doesn't work as well :(?

Jerome - If I understand correctly, the app is using a C library (libboost)? If so, swap it out for an Objective-C one. It will be a lot easier to deal with! Here's one: https://github.com/johnezang/JSONKit

libboost was used in the original fork. It was used to support tengen format. But it was a nightmare to compile. That's why I removed it. I replaced it by libjson. It's not easy to modify in order to support non-standard json.

So right now I'm trying with json-c (in c). I don't care if it's in c, c++ or objective-c. It needs to be easy to compile, and it has to be correctly designed to be modified for this goal.

Thanks for this suggestion. I will look at that lib too, if I have time.

It should work now in 2.6 (about ObjectId)

I guess it is fixed, no answer.
