NAME

MongoDB::BSON - Encoding and decoding utilities (more to come)

ATTRIBUTES

char

    $MongoDB::BSON::char = ":";
    $collection->query({"x" => {":gt" => 4}});

Can be used to set a character other than "$" to use for special operators.

Turn on/off UTF8 flag when return strings

    # turn off utf8 flag on strings
    $MongoDB::BSON::utf8_flag_on = 0;

Default is turn on, that compatible with version before 0.34.

If set to 0, will turn of utf8 flag on string attribute and return on bytes mode, meant same as :

    utf8::encode($str)

Currently MongoDB return string with utf8 flag, on character mode , some people wish to turn off utf8 flag and return string on byte mode, it maybe help to display "pretty" strings.

NOTE:

If you turn off utf8 flag, the string length will compute as bytes, and is_utf8 will return false.

Return boolean values as booleans instead of integers

    $MongoDB::BSON::use_boolean = 1

By default, booleans are deserialized as integers. If you would like them to be deserialized as "true" in boolean and "false" in boolean, set $MongoDB::BSON::use_boolean to 1.
