Poison.encode! error when preparing a body - (Poison.EncodeError) unable to encode value
I’m fetching some data from a mongodb database and I will use it to prepare a json body to send another HTTP request with HTTPoison so I’m using Poison as always to encode the body into JSON STRING, but there is a BSON ObjectId “_id” field in my body and I have this error :
data: %{
"name" => "jack",
"age" => 25,
"_id" => #BSON.ObjectId<605200d8099f1c001f5f1d61>
}
Poison.encode!(data)
LOG :
** (exit) an exception was raised:
** (Poison.EncodeError) unable to encode value: <<216, 9, 159, 28, 0, 31, 95, 29, 97>>
Is there a solution ? thanks

fixed by adding this in my application.ex in the lib folder :
defimpl Poison.Encoder, for: BSON.ObjectId do
def encode(id, options) do
BSON.ObjectId.encode!(id) |> Poison.Encoder.encode(options)
end
end
