Binary JSON

Binary JSON (BSON) is a data storage format that represents information in a compact, efficient way, similar to the usual JSON (JavaScript Object Notation). Unlike regular JSON, which is text-based and easy to read, BSON encodes data in binary form, making it faster to read and write for computers. This format supports richer data types like dates and binary data, enabling more complex and efficient data handling. BSON is commonly used in database systems such as MongoDB to optimize storage and retrieval performance while maintaining flexibility in data structure.
