You cannot use "." in field names (i.e. keys). If you must, then replace occurences of "." with the unicode representation "\uff0E".
Hope this helps.
Question
Folks, Having a problem with inserting the following yaml document into MongoDB:
works:
---
URLs:
- "http://www.yahoo.com":
intensity: 5
port: 80
does not:
---
URLs:
- "foo":
intensity: 5
port: 80
The only difference is the url. Here is the python code:
stream = open(options.filename, 'r')
yamlData = yaml.load(stream)
jsonData = json.dumps(yamlData)
io = StringIO(jsonData)
me = json.load(io)
... calling classes, etc, then
self.appCollection.insert(me)
err:
bson.errors.InvalidDocument: key 'http://yahoo.com' must not contain '.'
So, what is the correct way to transform this YML file? :)
Thanks!

OTHER TIPS
As the errors says, you have errors in your key. MongoDB uses dot for nested document keys, you cannot have a key that contains dot as part of the key.
