=head1 NAME

MongoDB::BSON - Tools for serializing and deserializing data in BSON form

=head1 VERSION

version 0.702.2

=head1 NAME

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

=head1 ATTRIBUTES

=head2 C<looks_like_number>

    $MongoDB::BSON::looks_like_number = 1;
    $collection->insert({age => "4"}); # stores 4 as an int

If this is set, the driver will be more aggressive about converting strings into
numbers.  Anything that L<Scalar::Util>'s looks_like_number would approve as a
number will be sent to MongoDB as its numeric value.

Defaults to 0 (for backwards compatibility).

If you do not set this, you may be using strings more often than you intend to.
See the L<MongoDB::DataTypes> section for more info on the behavior of strings
vs. numbers.

=head2 char

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

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

=head2 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.

=head2 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 L<boolean/true> and L<boolean/false>, set
C<$MongoDB::BSON::use_boolean> to 1.

=head2 Return binary data as instances of L<MongoDB::BSON::Binary> instead of
string refs.

    $MongoDB::BSON::use_binary = 1

For backwards compatibility, binary data is deserialized as a string ref.  If
you would like to have it deserialized as instances of L<MongoDB::BSON::Binary>
(to, say, preserve the subtype), set C<$MongoDB::BSON::use_binary> to 1.
