@ali27001 this is not a valid JSON (see simple syntax diagram at https://www.json.org/json-en.html). What you have here may be a valida JavaScript object value but it is not JSON. The ObjectID(...) is the problem here as the error message makes clear.

[ali27001]

yes right, but wouldn't it be good to support it?

Not really - JSON is plain, simple and safe. The moment you include executable code you invite a world of trouble and then it is no longer JSON. Recall that even though JSON stands for Java Script Object Notation, it is a standard of its own and in no way relies on JavaScript. The JavaScript spec includes a JSON compatible object literal notation. The sample you provided in JavaScript, not JSON.
