Convert lift-json JValue into MongoDBObject using Casbah?

Question

I'm trying to convert a parsed JSON document in a lift-json's JValue into a Casbah MongoDBObject - is there a way to do this?

Answer 1

You can convert the lift-json into a Map[String, Any] and then use the implicit asDBObject method on Map:

val record = record.values.asInstanceOf[Map[String, Any]]
record.asDBObject

Answer 2

Then there is also the net.liftweb.mongodb.JObjectParser with its parse method. The Casbah implicit will convert DBObject into MongoDBObject.
