Summary

Entire documentation page for the $objectToArray aggregation operator was removed, including all examples and code samples

Security assessment

This change removes documentation for a specific MongoDB aggregation operator ($objectToArray) but provides no evidence of security vulnerability, patch, or security-related context. The removal appears to be routine documentation cleanup or restructuring rather than addressing a security issue. No security implications are mentioned in the diff.

-# $objectToArray
-
-The `$objectToArray` aggregation operator in Amazon DocumentDB converts an object (or document) into an array. The input to the operator is a document, and the output consists of an array element for each field-value pair in the input document. This operator is useful when you need to work with the individual fields of a document as an array, such as when you want to find the document with the maximum or minimum value for a particular field.
-
-**Parameters**
-
-  * `expression`: The document expression to convert into an array.
-
-
-
-
-## Example (MongoDB Shell)
-
-The following example demonstrates how to use the `$objectToArray` operator to find the document with the maximum inventory for a video rental store chain.
