BSON::Bytes - BSON type wrapper for binary byte strings
version v1.12.2
use BSON::Types ':all'; $bytes = bson_bytes( $bytestring ); $bytes = bson_bytes( $bytestring, $subtype );
This module provides a BSON type wrapper for binary data represented as a string of bytes.
A scalar, interpreted as bytes. (I.e. "character" data should be encoded to bytes.) It defaults to the empty string.
A numeric BSON subtype between 0 and 255. This defaults to 0 and generally should not be modified. Subtypes 128 to 255 are "user-defined".
Returns Base64 encoded string equivalent to the data attribute.
If the BSON_EXTJSON option is true, it will instead be compatible with MongoDB's extended JSON format, which represents it as a document as follows:
BSON_EXTJSON
{"$binary" : { "base64": "<base64 data>", "subType" : "<type>"} }
The stringification operator ("") is overloaded to return the binary data and fallback overloading is enabled.
