The // library has two families of types for representing BSON. // // The Raw family of types is used to validate and retrieve elements from a slice of bytes. This // type is most useful when you want do lookups on BSON bytes without unmarshaling it into another // type. // // Example: // var raw bson.Raw = ... // bytes from somewhere // err := raw.Validate() // if err != nil { return err } // val := raw.Lookup("foo") // i32, ok := val.Int32OK() // // do something with i32... // // The D family of types is used to build concise representations of BSON using native Go types. // These types do not support automatic lookup. // // Example: // bson.D{{"foo", "bar"}, {"hello", "world"}, {"pi", 3.14159}} // // // Marshaling and Unmarshaling are handled with the Marshal and Unmarshal family of functions. If // you need to write or read BSON from a non-slice source, an Encoder or Decoder can be used with a // bsonrw.ValueWriter or bsonrw.ValueReader. // // Example: // b, err := bson.Marshal(bson.D{{"foo", "bar"}}) // if err != nil { return err } // var fooer struct { // Foo string // } // err = bson.Unmarshal(b, &fooer) // if err != nil { return err } // // do something with fooer... package bson
