Using 'bson_new_from_json' seems to be the easiest way to give admins flexibility on what queries/projections they want to have. I actually initially wanted to use aggregations, but decided against that to keep simplicity. Mongo 5.0 and above support keys that start with dollar signs according to this: https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/core/dot-dollar-considerations I have not found an example on how to search for one though...
