BSON::Bytes(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation BSON::Bytes(3)

BSON::Bytes - BSON type wrapper for binary byte strings

version v1.12.2

    use BSON::Types ':all';

    $bytes = bson_bytes( $bytestring );
    $bytes = bson_bytes( $bytestring, $subtype );

This module provides a BSON type wrapper for binary data represented as a string of bytes.

A scalar, interpreted as bytes. (I.e. "character" data should be encoded to bytes.) It defaults to the empty string.

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".

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>"} }

The stringification operator ("") is overloaded to return the binary data and fallback overloading is enabled.
