What is Symbol?
The symbol is often used in the context of BSON (Binary JSON) data types, which allows for the representation of various data structures. While MongoDB does not have a specific "symbol" data type like some programming languages, it utilizes BSON to store data efficiently, enabling developers to work with complex data types and structures seamlessly.
