Get the string inside objectId

Question

I have mongoId like this :

ObjectId("53056c1e211b6f2e5d8b4567")

I only want

"53056c1e211b6f2e5d8b4567"

I tried toString but it returns the whole thing as string.
I know I can extract using string operations, but is there a native way to do so ?

Answer 1

You can do it:

ObjectId("53056c1e211b6f2e5d8b4567").valueOf()

it have to return the following string:

53056c1e211b6f2e5d8b4567
