NAME
BSON::Double - BSON type wrapper for Double
VERSION
version v1.12.2
SYNOPSIS
use BSON::Types ':all';
my $bytes = bson_double( $number );
DESCRIPTION
This module provides a BSON type wrapper for a numeric value that would be represented in
BSON as a double.
ATTRIBUTES
value
A numeric scalar (or the special strings "Inf", "-Inf" or "NaN"). This will be coerced to
Perl's numeric type. The default is 0.0.
METHODS
TO_JSON
Returns a double.
If the "BSON_EXTJSON" environment variable is true and the "BSON_EXTJSON_RELAXED"
environment variable is false, returns a hashref compatible with MongoDB's extended JSON
<https://github.com/mongodb/specifications/blob/master/source/extended-json.rst> format,
which represents it as a document as follows:
{"$numberDouble" : "42.0"}
If "BSON_EXTJSON" is false and the value is 'Inf', '-Inf' or 'NaN' (which are illegal in
regular JSON), then an exception is thrown.
INFINITY AND NAN
Some Perls may not support converting "Inf" or "NaN" strings to their double equivalent.
They are available as functions from the POSIX module, but as a lighter alternative to
POSIX, the following functions are available:
o BSON::Double::pInf() -positive infinity
o BSON::Double::nInf() - negative infinity
o BSON::Double::NaN() - not-a-number
OVERLOADING
The numification operator, "0+" is overloaded to return the "value", the full "minimal
set" of overloaded operations is provided (per overload documentation) and fallback
overloading is enabled.
