+# MongoDB Kafka BsonObjectId
+
+This implementaion allows the MongoDB Kafka sink connector to convert an existing _id that is string as ObjectId
+
+# Usage
+
+If the id is provided as part of the value you can use:
+```
+		"post.processor.chain": "com.mongodb.kafka.connect.sink.processor.DocumentIdAdder",
+		"document.id.strategy": "com.mongodb.kafka.connect.sink.processor.id.strategy.BsonOidProvidedInValueStrategy",
+		"document.id.strategy.overwrite.existing": true,
+```
+
+If the id is provided as part of the key you can use:
+```
+		"post.processor.chain": "com.mongodb.kafka.connect.sink.processor.DocumentIdAdder",
+		"document.id.strategy": "com.mongodb.kafka.connect.sink.processor.id.strategy.BsonOidProvidedInKeyStrategy",
+		"document.id.strategy.overwrite.existing": true,
+```
