Convert MongoDBObject to JsValue

Question

Let's say I have ....

val obj: MongoDBObject = getDbObj
println(obj)

prints out:

{ "_id" : "1234", "name":"Kevin", "age":"100" }

How can I convert obj to a JsValue?

Are you asking about Play framework JsValue? If so you should add a play framework tag. — David Holbrook, Sep 11 '13 at 17:53
Thanks, David. I just added. I appreciate your on-going help (from previous posts I've noticed your name and avatar). — Kevin Meredith, Sep 11 '13 at 18:03
you are hitting a lot of the same stuff I was running into about a month ago — David Holbrook, Sep 11 '13 at 18:31

This is how you do it for Play 2.1 (documentation)

val dbo = MongoDBObject("id" -> "0001", "name" -> "Kevin", "age" -> "100") 
val json: JsValue = Json.parse(dbo.toString)
