NAME

BSON::Double - BSON type wrapper for Double

VERSION

version v0.999.1

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, unless the value is 'Inf', '-Inf' or 'NaN' (which are illegal in JSON), in which case an exception is thrown.

OVERLOADING

The numification operator, 0+ is overloaded to return the value and fallback overloading is enabled.
