ObjectId.isValid(id) - Returns true if id is a valid number or hexadecimal string representing an ObjectId. ObjectId.createFromHexString(hexString) - Returns the ObjectId the hexString represents. ObjectId.createFromTime(time) - Returns an ObjectId containing the passed time.

• time - A Unix timestamp (number of seconds since the epoch).

var myId = new ObjectId(id) - Creates a new ObjectId.

• id - Must either be a 24-character hex string or a 12 byte binary string.

myId.toJSON() myId.toString() myId.toHexString() - Returns a hexadecimal string representation of the ObjectId.

myId.equals(otherObjectId) - Returns true if the ObjectIds are the same, false otherwise.

myId.getTimestamp() - Returns a Date object containing the time the objectId was created for.
