It is a binary form for representing simple or complex data structures including associative arrays (also known as name-value pairs), integer indexed arrays, and a suite of fundamental scalar types. BSON originated in 2009 at MongoDB.

BSON stands for Binary Javascript Object Notation. It is a bin­ary-en­coded seri­al­iz­a­tion of JSON documents. BSON has been extended to add some optional non-JSON-native data types, like dates and binary data. BSON can be compared to other binary formats, like Protocol Buffers.

2017年11月29日 · BSON is the binary encoding of JSON-like documents that MongoDB uses when storing documents in collections. It adds support for data types like Date and binary that aren't supported in JSON.

2025年1月24日 · BSON is a binary-encoded serialization format that extends JSON, offering improved efficiency, support for complex data types, and faster processing, making it ideal for high-performance applications like MongoDB.

BSON, short for Bin­ary JSON, is a bin­ary-en­coded seri­al­iz­a­tion of JSON-like doc­u­ments. Like JSON, BSON sup­ports the em­bed­ding of doc­u­ments and ar­rays with­in oth­er doc­u­ments and ar­rays. BSON also con­tains ex­ten­sions that al­low rep­res­ent­a­tion of data types that are not part of the JSON spec.

BSON is designed as a binary representation of JSON data, with specific extensions for broader applications, and optimized for data storage and traversal. Just like JSON, BSON supports embedding objects and arrays.

2025年1月24日 · JSON is a human-readable text format ideal for data exchange, while BSON is a binary format optimized for efficient storage and retrieval, particularly in MongoDB, supporting additional data types and faster processing.

2024年11月29日 · BSON (Binary JSON) is a binary-encoded serialization of JSON-like documents used in MongoDB databases. This article provides an overview of BSON, the binary data format used by MongoDB to store documents.

2024年5月15日 · BSON or B JSON is the primary data representation format used in MongoDB. BSON (Binary JavaScript Object Notation) and JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) are both data interchange formats used in web-based applications, but they serve different purposes.

2024年12月18日 · BSON (Binary JSON) is a binary-encoded serialization format that is designed to store and transport data in a compact and efficient manner. It is an extension of JSON (JavaScript Object Notation), adding additional data types and optimizations for performance.
