MongoDB\BSON\Timestamp::jsonSerialize — Returns a representation that can be converted to JSON

### Description

final public MongoDB\BSON\Timestamp::jsonSerialize(): mixed

### Parameters

This function has no parameters.

### Return Values

Returns data which can be serialized by json_encode() to produce an extended JSON representation of the MongoDB\BSON\Timestamp.

> Note: The output is consistent with the MongoDB\BSON\toJSON() function, which uses the driver-specific legacy extended JSON format. This does not necessarily match the » relaxed or » canonical extended JSON representations used by MongoDB\BSON\toRelaxedExtendedJSON() and MongoDB\BSON\toCanonicalExtendedJSON(), respectively.

### Errors/Exceptions

- Throws MongoDB\Driver\Exception\InvalidArgumentException on argument parsing errors.
