The official BSON (Binary JSON) parser library for Node.js and browsers, maintained by MongoDB. It serializes and deserializes JSON-like documents to and from the BSON binary format, including types like ObjectId, and supports EJSON stringification.
Use cases
- serialize documents to bson binary format
- deserialize bson bytes back into javascript objects
- work with mongodb objectid and extended
- parse bson data in the browser
- encode -like documents for storage or network transfer
When to choose
- you need to encode or decode BSON, e.g. when working with MongoDB data directly
- you need BSON support in both Node.js and browser environments
- you need EJSON (Extended JSON) serialization of MongoDB-specific types
When to avoid
- you just need plain JSON serialization with no binary format requirements
- you are using a MongoDB driver, which already bundles BSON internally
- you need a human-readable data interchange format rather than binary
