<maml:para>Creates data documents.</maml:para>
</maml:description>
<command:verb>New</command:verb>
<command:noun>MdbcData</command:noun>
</command:details>
<maml:description>
<maml:para>This command is used to create Mdbc.Dictionary documents. Input objects come from the pipeline or as the parameter.
 
Created documents are used by other module commands. Note that Add-MdbcData and Export-MdbcData also have parameters Id, NewId, Convert, Property for making documents from input objects, so that in some cases intermediate use of New-MdbcData is not needed.
 
Result documents are returned as Mdbc.Dictionary objects. Mdbc.Dictionary wraps BsonDocument and implements IDictionary. It works as a hashtable where keys are case sensitive strings and values are convenient .NET types.
 
Useful members:
 
    $dictionary.Count
    $dictionary.Contains(&apos;key&apos;)
    $dictionary.Add(&apos;key&apos;, ..)
    $dictionary.Remove(&apos;key&apos;)
    $dictionary.Clear()
 
Setting values:
 
    $dictionary[&apos;key&apos;] = ..
    $dictionary.key = ..
 
Getting values:
 
    .. = $dictionary[&apos;key&apos;]
    .. = $dictionary.key
 
NOTE: On getting values, `$dictionary.key` fails if the key is missing in the strict mode. Use Contains() in order to check for missing keys. Or get values using `$dictionary[&apos;key&apos;]`, it returns nulls for missing keys.</maml:para>

<maml:name>Convert</maml:name>
<maml:description>
<maml:para>A script called on conversion of unknown data types. The variable $_ represents the unknown object. The script returns a new object suitable for conversion.
 
Examples: {} converts unknown data to nulls. {&quot;$_&quot;} converts data to strings.
 
Converters should be used sparingly, normally with unknown or varying data.</maml:para>
</maml:description>
</command:parameter>
<command:parameter required="false" position="named" >
<maml:name>Id</maml:name>
<maml:description>
<maml:para>Specifies the _id value of result document, either literally or using a script block returning this value for the input object represented by the variable $_. The script block is used for multiple objects in the pipeline.
 
If Id is used then _id must not exist in input objects or Property.</maml:para>
</maml:description>

<command:parameter required="false" position="named" >
<maml:name>NewId</maml:name>
<maml:description>
<maml:para>Tells to assign _id to a new generated MongoDB.Bson.ObjectId.
 
If NewId is used then _id must not exist in input objects or Property.</maml:para>
</maml:description>
</command:parameter>
<command:parameter required="false" position="named" >
<maml:name>Property</maml:name>
<maml:description>
<maml:para>Specifies properties or keys which values are included into documents or defines calculated fields. Missing input properties and keys are ignored.
 
If Property is omitted then types registered by Register-MdbcClassMap are serialized. Use `-Property *` in order to convert by properties instead.
 
Arguments:
 
1. Strings define property or key names of input objects. Wildcards are not supported but &quot;*&quot; may be used in order to tell &quot;convert all properties&quot;.
 
2. Hashtables @{Key=Value} define renamed and calculated fields. The key is the result document field name. The value is either a string (input object property or key) or a script block (field value calculated from the input object $_).
 
3. Hashtables @{Name=...; Expression=...} or @{Label=...; Expression=...} are similar but follow the syntax of `Select-Object -Property`.

<maml:name>As</maml:name>
<maml:description>
<maml:para>Specifies the type of output objects. The argument is either the type or full name or a special alias.
 
Key based types:
    - [Mdbc.Dictionary] (alias &quot;Default&quot;), wrapper of BsonDocument
    - [Hashtable] or other dictionaries, PowerShell native
    - [Object], same as [System.Dynamic.ExpandoObject]
    - [MongoDB.Bson.BsonDocument], driver native
 
Property based types:
    - [PSObject] (alias &quot;PS&quot;), same as [PSCustomObject]
    - Classes defined in PowerShell or .NET assemblies
 
Key based types and PSObject are schema free, they accept any result fields. Classes should match the result fields, literally or according to the custom serialization.
 
Finally, some types are case sensitive (Mdbc.Dictionary, BsonDocument) and others are not, for example all property based types in PowerShell.</maml:para>

<maml:para>Specifies properties or keys which values are included into documents or defines calculated fields. Missing input properties and keys are ignored.
 
If Property is omitted then types registered by Register-MdbcClassMap are serialized. Use `-Property *` in order to convert by properties instead.
 
Arguments:
 
1. Strings define property or key names of input objects. Wildcards are not supported but &quot;*&quot; may be used in order to tell &quot;convert all properties&quot;.
 
2. Hashtables @{Key=Value} define renamed and calculated fields. The key is the result document field name. The value is either a string (input object property or key) or a script block (field value calculated from the input object $_).
 
3. Hashtables @{Name=...; Expression=...} or @{Label=...; Expression=...} are similar but follow the syntax of `Select-Object -Property`.

<maml:name>As</maml:name>
<maml:description>
<maml:para>Specifies the type of output objects. The argument is either the type or full name or a special alias.
 
Key based types:
    - [Mdbc.Dictionary] (alias &quot;Default&quot;), wrapper of BsonDocument
    - [Hashtable] or other dictionaries, PowerShell native
    - [Object], same as [System.Dynamic.ExpandoObject]
    - [MongoDB.Bson.BsonDocument], driver native
 
Property based types:
    - [PSObject] (alias &quot;PS&quot;), same as [PSCustomObject]
    - Classes defined in PowerShell or .NET assemblies
 
Key based types and PSObject are schema free, they accept any result fields. Classes should match the result fields, literally or according to the custom serialization.
 
Finally, some types are case sensitive (Mdbc.Dictionary, BsonDocument) and others are not, for example all property based types in PowerShell.</maml:para>

         JSON format with global output mode, default is Shell
 
     JsonShell
         JSON format with output mode Shell
 
     JsonStrict
         JSON format with output mode Strict
         (obsolete, similar to CanonicalExtendedJson)
 
     JsonCanonicalExtended
         JSON format with output mode CanonicalExtendedJson
 
     JsonRelaxedExtended
         JSON format with output mode RelaxedExtendedJson
 
     Auto (default)
         The format is defined by the file extension:
         - &quot;.JSON&quot; (all caps) is for JSON Strict,
         - &quot;.json&quot; (others) is for JSON Shell,
         - other extensions are for BSON.
 
Input JSON is a sequence of objects and arrays of objects. Arrays are unrolled. Top objects and arrays are optionally separated by spaces, tabs, and new lines. Input formats Json* just mean JSON.</maml:para>

The cmdlet starts a transaction session and invokes the specified script. The script calls data cmdlets and either succeeds or fails. The cmdlet commits or aborts the transaction accordingly.
 
The transaction session is default for cmdlets with the parameter Session. For the script the session is exposed as the automatic variable $Session.
 
Nested calls are allowed but transactions and sessions are independent. In particular, they may not see changes made in parent or nested calls.</maml:para>

<maml:para>Specifies the type of output objects. The argument is either the type or full name or a special alias.
 
Key based types:
    - [Mdbc.Dictionary] (alias &quot;Default&quot;), wrapper of BsonDocument
    - [Hashtable] or other dictionaries, PowerShell native
    - [Object], same as [System.Dynamic.ExpandoObject]
    - [MongoDB.Bson.BsonDocument], driver native
 
Property based types:
    - [PSObject] (alias &quot;PS&quot;), same as [PSCustomObject]
    - Classes defined in PowerShell or .NET assemblies
 
Key based types and PSObject are schema free, they accept any result fields. Classes should match the result fields, literally or according to the custom serialization.
 
Finally, some types are case sensitive (Mdbc.Dictionary, BsonDocument) and others are not, for example all property based types in PowerShell.</maml:para>
