BSON specification
BSON, or Binary JSON, is a format used to store and transmit data in a structured way, primarily in databases like MongoDB. It extends JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) by adding support for additional data types, such as dates and binary data, which makes it more versatile for applications. BSON is designed to be efficient for both storage and network transfer, allowing for quick data access and retrieval. Overall, it combines the ease of use of JSON with the performance benefits needed for more complex applications and bigger datasets.
