# BSON parser

BSON is short for "Binary JSON," and is the binary-encoded serialization of JSON-like documents. You can learn more about it in [the specification](http://bsonspec.org).

This browser version of the BSON parser is compiled using [rollup](https://rollupjs.org/) and the current version is pre-compiled in the `dist` directory.

This is the default BSON parser, however, there is a C++ Node.js addon version as well that does not support the browser. It can be found at [mongod-js/bson-ext](https://github.com/mongodb-js/bson-ext).

## Usage

To build a new version perform the following operations:

```
npm install
npm run build
```

### Node (no bundling)
A simple example of how to use BSON in `Node.js`:

```js
const BSON = require('bson');
const Long = BSON.Long;

// Serialize a document
const doc = { long: Long.fromNumber(100) };
const data = BSON.serialize(doc);
console.log('data:', data);

// Deserialize the resulting Buffer
const doc_2 = BSON.deserialize(data);
console.log('doc_2:', doc_2);
```

### Browser (no bundling)

If you are not using a bundler like webpack, you can include `dist/bson.bundle.js` using a script tag.  It includes polyfills for built-in node types like `Buffer`.

```html
<script src="./dist/bson.bundle.js"></script>

<script>
  function start() {
    // Get the Long type
    const Long = BSON.Long;

    // Serialize a document
    const doc = { long: Long.fromNumber(100) }
    const data = BSON.serialize(doc);
    console.log('data:', data);

    // De serialize it again
    const doc_2 = BSON.deserialize(data);
    console.log('doc_2:', doc_2);
  }
</script>
```

### Using webpack

If using webpack, you can use your normal import/require syntax of your project to pull in the `bson` library.

ES6 Example:

```js
import { Long, serialize, deserialize } from 'bson';

// Serialize a document
const doc = { long: Long.fromNumber(100) };
const data = serialize(doc);
console.log('data:', data);

// De serialize it again
const doc_2 = deserialize(data);
console.log('doc_2:', doc_2);
```

ES5 Example:

```js
const BSON = require('bson');
const Long = BSON.Long;

// Serialize a document
const doc = { long: Long.fromNumber(100) };
const data = BSON.serialize(doc);
console.log('data:', data);

// Deserialize the resulting Buffer
const doc_2 = BSON.deserialize(data);
console.log('doc_2:', doc_2);
```

Depending on your settings, webpack will under the hood resolve to one of the following:

- `dist/bson.browser.esm.js` If your project is in the browser and using ES6 modules (Default for `webworker` and `web` targets)
- `dist/bson.browser.umd.js` If your project is in the browser and not using ES6 modules
- `dist/bson.esm.js` If your project is in Node.js and using ES6 modules (Default for `node` targets)
- `lib/bson.js` (the normal include path) If your project is in Node.js and not using ES6 modules

For more information, see [this page on webpack's `resolve.mainFields`](https://webpack.js.org/configuration/resolve/#resolvemainfields) and [the `package.json` for this project](./package.json#L52)

### Usage with Angular

Starting with Angular 6, Angular CLI removed the shim for `global` and other node built-in variables (original comment [here](https://github.com/angular/angular-cli/issues/9827#issuecomment-386154063)). If you are using BSON with Angular, you may need to add the following shim to your `polyfills.ts` file:

```js
// In polyfills.ts
(window as any).global = window;
```

**Example**
```js
const { EJSON } = require('bson');
const text = '{ "int32": { "$numberInt": "10" } }';

// prints { int32: { [String: '10'] _bsontype: 'Int32', value: '10' } }
console.log(EJSON.parse(text, { relaxed: false }));

// prints { int32: 10 }
console.log(EJSON.parse(text));

| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| value | <code>object</code> |  | The value to convert to extended JSON |
| [replacer] | <code>function</code> \| <code>array</code> |  | A function that alters the behavior of the stringification process, or an array of String and Number objects that serve as a whitelist for selecting/filtering the properties of the value object to be included in the JSON string.

| [space] | <code>string</code> \| <code>number</code> |  | A String or Number object that's used to insert white space into the output JSON string for readability purposes. |

| [options.legacy] | <code>boolean</code> | <code>true</code> | Output in Extended JSON v1 |

Converts a BSON document to an Extended JSON string, optionally replacing values if a replacer
function is specified or optionally including only the specified properties if a replacer array
is specified.

**Example**
```js
const { EJSON } = require('bson');
const Int32 = require('mongodb').Int32;
const doc = { int32: new Int32(10) };

// prints '{"int32":{"$numberInt":"10"}}'
console.log(EJSON.stringify(doc, { relaxed: false }));

// prints '{"int32":10}'
console.log(EJSON.stringify(doc));

## FAQ

#### Why does `undefined` get converted to `null`?

The `undefined` BSON type has been [deprecated for many years](http://bsonspec.org/spec.html), so this library has dropped support for it. Use the `ignoreUndefined` option (for example, from the [driver](http://mongodb.github.io/node-mongodb-native/2.2/api/MongoClient.html#connect) ) to instead remove `undefined` keys.

#### How do I add custom serialization logic?

This library looks for `toBSON()` functions on every path, and calls the `toBSON()` function to get the value to serialize.

```javascript
const BSON = require('bson');

class CustomSerialize {
  toBSON() {
    return 42;
  }
}

const obj = { answer: new CustomSerialize() };
// "{ answer: 42 }"
console.log(BSON.deserialize(BSON.serialize(obj)));
```
