NAME
BSON::Bytes - BSON type wrapper for binary byte strings
VERSION
version v1.12.2
SYNOPSIS
use BSON::Types ':all';
$bytes = bson_bytes( $bytestring );
$bytes = bson_bytes( $bytestring, $subtype );
DESCRIPTION
This module provides a BSON type wrapper for binary data represented as a string of bytes.
ATTRIBUTES
data
A scalar, interpreted as bytes. (I.e. "character" data should be encoded to bytes.) It
defaults to the empty string.
subtype
A numeric BSON subtype between 0 and 255. This defaults to 0 and generally should not be
modified. Subtypes 128 to 255 are "user-defined".
METHODS
TO_JSON
Returns Base64 encoded string equivalent to the data attribute.
If the "BSON_EXTJSON" option is true, it will instead be compatible with MongoDB's
extended JSON <https://github.com/mongodb/specifications/blob/master/source/extended-
json.rst> format, which represents it as a document as follows:
{"$binary" : { "base64": "<base64 data>", "subType" : "<type>"} }
OVERLOADING
The stringification operator ("") is overloaded to return the binary data and fallback
overloading is enabled.
