Service: documentdb · 2026-03-28 · Documentation low

File: documentdb/latest/developerguide/strLenBytes.md

Summary

Entire documentation page for the $strLenBytes operator has been removed, including all content, examples, and code samples

Security assessment

This change removes documentation for a specific MongoDB operator ($strLenBytes) but provides no evidence of security vulnerability, incident, or security-related context. The removal appears to be part of documentation restructuring or deprecation of content, not addressing a security issue. No security features are added.

-# $strLenBytes
-
-The `$strLenBytes` operator in Amazon DocumentDB is used to determine the length of a string in bytes. This is useful when you need to understand the storage size of a string field, especially when dealing with Unicode characters that may use more than one byte per character.
-
-**Parameters**
-
-  * `expression`: The string expression to calculate the length of.
-
-
-
-
-## Example (MongoDB Shell)
-
-This example demonstrates how to use the `$strLenBytes` operator to calculate the length of string fields in bytes.
-
-**Create sample documents**
-    
-    
-    db.people.insertMany([
-      { "_id": 1, "Desk": "Düsseldorf-BVV-021" },
-      { "_id": 2, "Desk": "Munich-HGG-32a" },
-      { "_id": 3, "Desk": "Cologne-ayu-892.50" },
-      { "_id": 4, "Desk": "Dortmund-Hop-78" }
-    ]);
-
-**Query example**
-    
-    
-    db.people.aggregate([
-      {
-        $project: {
-          "Desk": 1,
-          "length": { $strLenBytes: "$Desk" }
-        }
-      }
-    ])
-
-**Output**
-    
-    
-    { "_id" : 1, "Desk" : "Düsseldorf-BVV-021", "length" : 19 }
-    { "_id" : 2, "Desk" : "Munich-HGG-32a", "length" : 14 }
-    { "_id" : 3, "Desk" : "Cologne-ayu-892.50", "length" : 18 }
-    { "_id" : 4, "Desk" : "Dortmund-Hop-78", "length" : 15 }
-
-Note that the length of the "Düsseldorf-BVV-021" string is 19 bytes, which is different from the number of code points (18) due to the Unicode character "Ü" occupying 2 bytes.
