Hello everyone
In this PR I am trying to address the challenge of using interfaces as root objects in MongoDB and BSON respectively. I am trying to address this issue. MongoDB does not support discriminating against interface types, only against ClassTypes.
Besides the serialization, this change also allows for the support of using the .OfType(). meaning that collections can now discriminate against the actual interfaces implemented.
I've added tests for the serialization, but could not figure out where I would write integration tests for the .OfType part.
Additionally I would like some guidance in how to proceed with breaking changes as the changes introduced break some tests, specifically CSharp564Tests, looking at the described issue in Jira I do not think I am breaking the implementation there, simply the value of _t has changed to include more information.
I've used this code to test the implementation of ".OfType()":
