JSON and Collections support {#json}
========================================

The Connector/C 7 supports the standard CRUD operations on documents
and collections: FIND, ADD, MODIFY and REMOVE.

It can also create and drop collections using mysqlx_collection_create() and
mysqlx_collection_drop() functions.

The document data is returned as JSON strings from the standard FIND
operation.
(See mysqlx_collection_find_new(), mysqlx_json_fetch_one()).

In a similar fashion the ADD operation accepts JSON string documents
to be added to a collection.
(See mysqlx_collection_add_new(), mysqlx_set_add_document()).
