David Beck (BSON creator)

David Beck is a software engineer best known for creating BSON, a binary representation of JSON-like documents. BSON stands for "Binary JSON," and it allows for efficient storage and data transfer in databases, particularly in MongoDB, which he helped develop. BSON supports various data types, providing more flexibility than JSON, such as allowing for richer data structures and faster parsing. Beck's work has significantly impacted how data is managed in NoSQL databases, facilitating better performance and scalability for modern applications relying on large amounts of structured data.
