FAQ
What is a MongoDB ObjectId?
ObjectId is MongoDB's standard identifier type. Its BSON representation is 12 bytes and is commonly displayed as a 24-character hexadecimal string.
Are ObjectIds unique?
ObjectIds are designed to provide practical uniqueness across generated identifiers, although no identifier system should be treated as an absolute mathematical guarantee of uniqueness.
Do ObjectIds contain a timestamp?
Yes. An ObjectId contains a timestamp component representing the approximate creation time of the identifier.
Can I use generated ObjectIds in MongoDB?
Yes. The generated values use the standard hexadecimal representation of MongoDB ObjectIds and can be used when creating test or application data.
Can I generate multiple ObjectIds at once?
Yes. The generator supports batch generation of multiple ObjectIds.
