BSON_T(3)

NAME
bson_t - bson_t

BSON Document Abstraction

SYNOPSIS

#include <bson/bson.h>
/**
 * bson_empty:
 * @b: a bson_t.
 *
 * Checks to see if @b is an empty BSON document. An empty BSON document is
 * a 5 byte document which contains the length (4 bytes) and a single NUL
 * byte indicating end of fields.
 */
#define bson_empty(b) /* ... */
/**
 * bson_empty0:
 *
 * Like bson_empty() but treats NULL the same as an empty bson_t document.
 */
#define bson_empty0(b) /* ... */
/**
 * bson_clear:
 *
 * Easily free a bson document and set it to NULL. Use like:
 *
 * bson_t *doc = bson_new();
 * bson_clear (&doc);
 * BSON_ASSERT (doc == NULL);
 */
#define bson_clear(bptr) /* ... */
/**
 * BSON_MAX_SIZE:
 *
 * The maximum size in bytes of a BSON document.

DESCRIPTION

The bson_t structure represents a BSON document. This structure manages the underlying BSON encoded buffer. For mutable documents, it can append new data to the document.

PERFORMANCE NOTES

The bson_t structure attempts to use an inline allocation within the structure to speed up performance of small documents. When this internal buffer has been exhausted, a heap allocated buffer will be dynamically allocated. Therefore, it is essential to call bson_destroy() on allocated documents.

DUPLICATE KEYS

The BSON specification allows BSON documents to have duplicate keys. Documents are stored as an ordered list of key-value pairs. A bson_t may contain duplicate keys. Applications should refrain from generating such documents, because MongoDB server behavior is undefined when a BSON document contains duplicate keys.

EXAMPLE

static void
create_on_heap (void)
{
   bson_t *b = bson_new ();
   BSON_APPEND_INT32 (b, "foo", 123);
   BSON_APPEND_UTF8 (b, "bar", "foo");
   BSON_APPEND_DOUBLE (b, "baz", 1.23f);
   bson_destroy (b);
}
