-# $toString
-
-New from version 4.0
-
-The `$toString` operator in Amazon DocumentDB is used to convert a value of any type (except for null) to a string representation. This can be useful when you need to perform string operations on values that are not originally in string format.
-
-**Parameters**
-
-  * `expression`: The expression to convert to a string.
-
-
-
-
-## Example (MongoDB Shell)
-
-The following example demonstrates how to use the `$toString` operator to convert numeric values to strings.
-
-**Create sample documents**
-    
-    
-    db.numbers.insertMany([
-      { "_id": 1, "value": 42 },
-      { "_id": 2, "value": 3.14 }
-    ]);
-
-**Query example**
-    
-    
-    db.numbers.aggregate([
-      { $project: {
-        _id: 1,
-        valueAsString: { $toString: "$value" }
-      }}
-    ]);
-
-**Output**
-    
-    
-    { "_id": 1, "valueAsString": "42" }
-    { "_id": 2, "valueAsString": "3.14" }
