Frequently Asked Questions

What is BSON?

BSON (Binary JSON) is a binary-encoded serialization format used primarily by MongoDB for storing documents. It extends the JSON model to provide additional data types and to be efficient for encoding and decoding within different languages.

Why convert JSON to BSON?

Converting JSON to BSON is essential when working with MongoDB or systems that use BSON internally. BSON provides better performance for certain operations and supports additional data types not available in JSON, making it ideal for database operations.

How accurate is the conversion?

The converter implements the BSON specification precisely, ensuring byte-level accuracy in the output. Each conversion is validated and follows the official BSON format, making it suitable for use with MongoDB and other BSON-compatible systems.

What data types are supported?

The converter supports common JSON data types including strings, numbers, booleans, and nested objects. The BSON output preserves these types while adding the necessary BSON-specific type information and length prefixes.

Technical Details

BSON Document Structure

Each BSON document follows this structure:

  1. Total document length (4 bytes)
  2. Element list containing:
    • Element type (1 byte)
    • Element name (null-terminated string)
    • Element value (type-specific format)
  3. Null terminator (0x00)

Example conversion:

JSON: {"name": "test"}
BSON: 0x16 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x02 0x6E 0x61 0x6D 0x65 0x00 
      0x05 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x74 0x65 0x73 0x74 0x00 0x00
