Documentation

Overview

Package bson is a library for reading, writing, and manipulating BSON. BSON is a binary serialization format used to store documents and make remote procedure calls in MongoDB. The BSON specification is located at https://bsonspec.org. The BSON library handles marshaling and unmarshaling of values through a configurable codec system. For a description of the codec system and examples of registering custom codecs, see the bsoncodec package. For additional information and usage examples, check out the Work with BSON page in the Go Driver docs site.

Raw BSON

The Raw family of types is used to validate and retrieve elements from a slice of bytes. This type is most useful when you want do lookups on BSON bytes without unmarshaling it into another type.

Example:

var raw bson.Raw = ... // bytes from somewhere
err := raw.Validate()
if err != nil { return err }
val := raw.Lookup("foo")
i32, ok := val.Int32OK()
// do something with i32...

Native Go Types

The D and M types defined in this package can be used to build representations of BSON using native Go types. D is a slice and M is a map. For more information about the use cases for these types, see the documentation on the type definitions.

Note that a D should not be constructed with duplicate key names, as that can cause undefined server behavior.

Example:

bson.D{{"foo", "bar"}, {"hello", "world"}, {"pi", 3.14159}}
bson.M{"foo": "bar", "hello": "world", "pi": 3.14159}

When decoding BSON to a D or M, the following type mappings apply when unmarshaling:

  1. BSON int32 unmarshals to an int32.
  2. BSON int64 unmarshals to an int64.
  3. BSON double unmarshals to a float64.
  4. BSON string unmarshals to a string.
  5. BSON boolean unmarshals to a bool.
  6. BSON embedded document unmarshals to the parent type (i.e. D for a D, M for an M).
  7. BSON array unmarshals to a bson.A.
  8. BSON ObjectId unmarshals to a primitive.ObjectID.
  9. BSON datetime unmarshals to a primitive.DateTime.
  10. BSON binary unmarshals to a primitive.Binary.
  11. BSON regular expression unmarshals to a primitive.Regex.
  12. BSON JavaScript unmarshals to a primitive.JavaScript.
  13. BSON code with scope unmarshals to a primitive.CodeWithScope.
  14. BSON timestamp unmarshals to an primitive.Timestamp.
  15. BSON 128-bit decimal unmarshals to an primitive.Decimal128.
  16. BSON min key unmarshals to an primitive.MinKey.
  17. BSON max key unmarshals to an primitive.MaxKey.
  18. BSON undefined unmarshals to a primitive.Undefined.
  19. BSON null unmarshals to nil.
  20. BSON DBPointer unmarshals to a primitive.DBPointer.
  21. BSON symbol unmarshals to a primitive.Symbol.

The above mappings also apply when marshaling a D or M to BSON. Some other useful marshaling mappings are:

  1. time.Time marshals to a BSON datetime.
  2. int8, int16, and int32 marshal to a BSON int32.
  3. int marshals to a BSON int32 if the value is between math.MinInt32 and math.MaxInt32, inclusive, and a BSON int64 otherwise.
  4. int64 marshals to BSON int64 (unless Encoder.IntMinSize is set).
  5. uint8 and uint16 marshal to a BSON int32.
  6. uint, uint32, and uint64 marshal to a BSON int64 (unless Encoder.IntMinSize is set).
  7. BSON null and undefined values will unmarshal into the zero value of a field (e.g. unmarshaling a BSON null or undefined value into a string will yield the empty string.).

Structs

Structs can be marshaled/unmarshaled to/from BSON or Extended JSON. When transforming structs to/from BSON or Extended JSON, the following rules apply:

  1. Only exported fields in structs will be marshaled or unmarshaled.

  2. When marshaling a struct, each field will be lowercased to generate the key for the corresponding BSON element. For example, a struct field named "Foo" will generate key "foo". This can be overridden via a struct tag (e.g. `bson:"fooField"` to generate key "fooField" instead).

  3. An embedded struct field is marshaled as a subdocument. The key will be the lowercased name of the field's type.

  4. A pointer field is marshaled as the underlying type if the pointer is non-nil. If the pointer is nil, it is marshaled as a BSON null value.

  5. When unmarshaling, a field of type interface{} will follow the D/M type mappings listed above. BSON documents unmarshaled into an interface{} field will be unmarshaled as a D.

The encoding of each struct field can be customized by the "bson" struct tag.

This tag behavior is configurable, and different struct tag behavior can be configured by initializing a new bsoncodec.StructCodec with the desired tag parser and registering that StructCodec onto the Registry. By default, JSON tags are not honored, but that can be enabled by creating a StructCodec with JSONFallbackStructTagParser, like below:

Example:

structcodec, _ := bsoncodec.NewStructCodec(bsoncodec.JSONFallbackStructTagParser)

The bson tag gives the name of the field, possibly followed by a comma-separated list of options. The name may be empty in order to specify options without overriding the default field name. The following options can be used to configure behavior:

  1. omitempty: If the omitempty struct tag is specified on a field, the field will be omitted from the marshaling if the field has an empty value, defined as false, 0, a nil pointer, a nil interface value, and any empty array, slice, map, or string. NOTE: It is recommended that this tag be used for all slice and map fields.

  2. minsize: If the minsize struct tag is specified on a field of type int64, uint, uint32, or uint64 and the value of the field can fit in a signed int32, the field will be serialized as a BSON int32 rather than a BSON int64. For other types, this tag is ignored.

  3. truncate: If the truncate struct tag is specified on a field with a non-float numeric type, BSON doubles unmarshaled into that field will be truncated at the decimal point. For example, if 3.14 is unmarshaled into a field of type int, it will be unmarshaled as 3. If this tag is not specified, the decoder will throw an error if the value cannot be decoded without losing precision. For float64 or non-numeric types, this tag is ignored.

  4. inline: If the inline struct tag is specified for a struct or map field, the field will be "flattened" when marshaling and "un-flattened" when unmarshaling. This means that all of the fields in that struct/map will be pulled up one level and will become top-level fields rather than being fields in a nested document. For example, if a map field named "Map" with value map[string]interface{}{"foo": "bar"} is inlined, the resulting document will be {"foo": "bar"} instead of {"map": {"foo": "bar"}}. There can only be one inlined map field in a struct. If there are duplicated fields in the resulting document when an inlined struct is marshaled, the inlined field will be overwritten. If there are duplicated fields in the resulting document when an inlined map is marshaled, an error will be returned. This tag can be used with fields that are pointers to structs. If an inlined pointer field is nil, it will not be marshaled. For fields that are not maps or structs, this tag is ignored.

Marshaling and Unmarshaling

Manually marshaling and unmarshaling can be done with the Marshal and Unmarshal family of functions.

if err != nil {
    panic(err)
}
dec.SetRegistry(reg)

See Encoder and Decoder for more examples.

Types

type A added in v0.0.18

type A = primitive.A

An A is an ordered representation of a BSON array.

Example usage:

bson.A{"bar", "world", 3.14159, bson.D{{"qux", 12345}}}

type D added in v0.0.18

type D = primitive.D

D is an ordered representation of a BSON document. This type should be used when the order of the elements matters, such as MongoDB command documents. If the order of the elements does not matter, an M should be used instead.

A D should not be constructed with duplicate key names, as that can cause undefined server behavior.

Example usage:

bson.D{{"foo", "bar"}, {"hello", "world"}, {"pi", 3.14159}}

type Decoder

type Decoder struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

A Decoder reads and decodes BSON documents from a stream. It reads from a bsonrw.ValueReader as the source of BSON data.

Example
package main

import (
	"fmt"

	"go.mongodb.org/mongo-driver/bson"
	"go.mongodb.org/mongo-driver/bson/bsonrw"
)

func main() {
	// Marshal a BSON document that contains the name, SKU, and price (in cents)
	// of a product.
	doc := bson.D{
		{Key: "name", Value: "Cereal Rounds"},
		{Key: "sku", Value: "AB12345"},
		{Key: "price_cents", Value: 399},
	}
	data, err := bson.Marshal(doc)
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}

	// Create a Decoder that reads the marshaled BSON document and use it to
	// unmarshal the document into a Product struct.
	decoder, err := bson.NewDecoder(bsonrw.NewBSONDocumentReader(data))
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}

	type Product struct {
		Name  string `bson:"name"`
		SKU   string `bson:"sku"`
		Price int64  `bson:"price_cents"`
	}

	var res Product
	err = decoder.Decode(&res)
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}

	fmt.Printf("%+v\n", res)
}
Output:

{Name:Cereal Rounds SKU:AB12345 Price:399}
Example (ExtendedJSON)
package main

import (
	"bytes"
	"fmt"

	"go.mongodb.org/mongo-driver/bson"
	"go.mongodb.org/mongo-driver/bson/bsonrw"
)

func main() {
	// Define an Extended JSON document that contains the name, SKU, and price
	// (in cents) of a product.
	data := []byte(`{"name":"Cereal Rounds","sku":"AB12345","price_cents":{"$numberLong":"399"}}`)

	// Create a Decoder that reads the Extended JSON document and use it to
	// unmarshal the document into a Product struct.
	vr, err := bsonrw.NewExtJSONValueReader(bytes.NewReader(data), true)
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}
	decoder, err := bson.NewDecoder(vr)
	if err != nil {

func (*Encoder) IntMinSize added in v1.12.0

func (e *Encoder) IntMinSize()

IntMinSize causes the Encoder to marshal Go integer values (int, int8, int16, int32, int64, uint, uint8, uint16, uint32, or uint64) as the minimum BSON int size (either 32 or 64 bits) that can represent the integer value.

Example
package main

import (
	"bytes"
	"fmt"

	"go.mongodb.org/mongo-driver/bson"
	"go.mongodb.org/mongo-driver/bson/bsonrw"
)

func (*Encoder) OmitZeroStruct added in v1.12.0

func (e *Encoder) OmitZeroStruct()

OmitZeroStruct causes the Encoder to consider the zero value for a struct (e.g. MyStruct{}) as empty and omit it from the marshaled BSON when the "omitempty" struct tag option is set.

Note that the Encoder only examines exported struct fields when determining if a struct is the zero value. It considers pointers to a zero struct value (e.g. &MyStruct{}) not empty.

func (*Encoder) Reset added in v0.0.17

func (e *Encoder) Reset(vw bsonrw.ValueWriter) error

Reset will reset the state of the Encoder, using the same *EncodeContext used in the original construction but using vw.

	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}
	encoder, err := bson.NewEncoder(vw)
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}

	// Configure the Encoder to convert Go map keys to BSON document field names
	// using fmt.Sprintf instead of the default string conversion logic.
	encoder.StringifyMapKeysWithFmt()

	// Use the Encoder to marshal a BSON document that contains is a map of
	// city and state to a list of zip codes in that city.
	zipCodes := map[CityState][]int{
		{City: "New York", State: "NY"}: {10001, 10301, 10451},
	}
	err = encoder.Encode(zipCodes)

func (*Encoder) UseJSONStructTags added in v1.12.0

func (e *Encoder) UseJSONStructTags()

UseJSONStructTags causes the Encoder to fall back to using the "json" struct tag if a "bson" struct tag is not specified.

Example
package main

import (
	"bytes"
	"fmt"

	"go.mongodb.org/mongo-driver/bson"
	"go.mongodb.org/mongo-driver/bson/bsonrw"
)

func main() {
	// Create an Encoder that writes BSON values to a bytes.Buffer.
	buf := new(bytes.Buffer)
	vw, err := bsonrw.NewBSONValueWriter(buf)
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}
	encoder, err := bson.NewEncoder(vw)
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}

	type Product struct {
		Name  string `json:"name"`
		SKU   string `json:"sku"`
		Price int64  `json:"price_cents"`
	}

	// Configure the Encoder to use "json" struct tags when decoding if "bson"
	// struct tags are not present.
	encoder.UseJSONStructTags()

	// Use the Encoder to marshal a BSON document that contains the name, SKU,
	// and price (in cents) of a product.
	product := Product{
		Name:  "Cereal Rounds",
		SKU:   "AB12345",
		Price: 399,
	}
	err = encoder.Encode(product)
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}

	// Print the BSON document as Extended JSON by converting it to bson.Raw.
	fmt.Println(bson.Raw(buf.Bytes()).String())
}
Output:

{"name": "Cereal Rounds","sku": "AB12345","price_cents": {"$numberLong":"399"}}

type M added in v0.0.18

type M = primitive.M

M is an unordered representation of a BSON document. This type should be used when the order of the elements does not matter. This type is handled as a regular map[string]interface{} when encoding and decoding. Elements will be serialized in an undefined, random order. If the order of the elements matters, a D should be used instead.

Example usage:

bson.M{"foo": "bar", "hello": "world", "pi": 3.14159}

type Marshaler

type Marshaler interface {
	MarshalBSON() ([]byte, error)
}

Marshaler is the interface implemented by types that can marshal themselves into a valid BSON document.

Implementations of Marshaler must return a full BSON document. To create custom BSON marshaling behavior for individual values in a BSON document, implement the ValueMarshaler interface instead.

type PrimitiveCodecs deprecated added in v0.0.17

type PrimitiveCodecs struct{}

PrimitiveCodecs is a namespace for all of the default bsoncodec.Codecs for the primitive types defined in this package.

Deprecated: Use bson.NewRegistry to get a registry with all primitive encoders and decoders registered.

RawEncodeValue is the ValueEncoderFunc for Reader.

Deprecated: Use bson.NewRegistry to get a registry with all primitive encoders and decoders registered.

func (PrimitiveCodecs) RawValueDecodeValue deprecated added in v0.0.18

func (PrimitiveCodecs) RawValueDecodeValue(_ bsoncodec.DecodeContext, vr bsonrw.ValueReader, val reflect.Value) error

RawValueEncodeValue is the ValueEncoderFunc for RawValue.

If the RawValue's Type is "invalid" and the RawValue's Value is not empty or nil, then this method will return an error.

Deprecated: Use bson.NewRegistry to get a registry with all primitive encoders and decoders registered.

func (PrimitiveCodecs) RegisterPrimitiveCodecs deprecated added in v0.0.17

func (pc PrimitiveCodecs) RegisterPrimitiveCodecs(rb *bsoncodec.RegistryBuilder)

RegisterPrimitiveCodecs will register the encode and decode methods attached to PrimitiveCodecs with the provided RegistryBuilder. if rb is nil, a new empty RegistryBuilder will be created.

Deprecated: Use bson.NewRegistry to get a registry with all primitive encoders and decoders registered.

type Raw added in v0.0.18

type Raw []byte

Raw is a raw encoded BSON document. It can be used to delay BSON document decoding or precompute a BSON encoded document.

A Raw must be a full BSON document. Use the RawValue type for individual BSON values.

Example (Marshal)

This example uses Raw to add a precomputed BSON document during marshal.

package main

import (
	"fmt"

	"go.mongodb.org/mongo-driver/bson"
)

func main() {
	precomputed, err := bson.Marshal(bson.M{"Precomputed": true})
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}

	msg := struct {
		Message  string
		Metadata bson.Raw
	}{
		Message:  "Hello World!",
		Metadata: precomputed,
	}

	b, err := bson.Marshal(msg)
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}
	// Print the Extended JSON by converting BSON to bson.Raw.
	fmt.Println(bson.Raw(b).String())

}
Output:

{"message": "Hello World!","metadata": {"Precomputed": true}}
Example (Unmarshal)

This example uses Raw to skip parsing a nested document in a BSON message.

package main

import (
	"fmt"

	"go.mongodb.org/mongo-driver/bson"
)

func main() {
	b, err := bson.Marshal(bson.M{
		"Word":     "beach",
		"Synonyms": bson.A{"coast", "shore", "waterfront"},
	})
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}

	var res struct {
		Word     string
		Synonyms bson.Raw // Don't parse the whole list, we just want to count the elements.
	}

	err = bson.Unmarshal(b, &res)
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}
	elems, err := res.Synonyms.Elements()
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}
	fmt.Printf("%s, synonyms count: %d\n", res.Word, len(elems))

}
Output:

beach, synonyms count: 3

func NewFromIOReader deprecated

func NewFromIOReader(r io.Reader) (Raw, error)

NewFromIOReader reads a BSON document from the io.Reader and returns it as a bson.Raw. If the reader contains multiple BSON documents, only the first document is read.

type RawValue added in v0.0.18

type RawValue struct {
	Type  bsontype.Type
	Value []byte
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

RawValue is a raw encoded BSON value. It can be used to delay BSON value decoding or precompute BSON encoded value. Type is the BSON type of the value and Value is the raw encoded BSON value.

A RawValue must be an individual BSON value. Use the Raw type for full BSON documents.

Example (Marshal)

This example uses RawValue to add a precomputed BSON string value during marshal.

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"time"

	"go.mongodb.org/mongo-driver/bson"
)

func main() {
	t, val, err := bson.MarshalValue("Precomputed message!")
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}
	precomputed := bson.RawValue{
		Type:  t,
		Value: val,
	}

	msg := struct {
		Message bson.RawValue
		Time    time.Time
	}{
		Message: precomputed,
		Time:    time.Unix(1675282389, 0),
	}

	b, err := bson.Marshal(msg)
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}
	// Print the Extended JSON by converting BSON to bson.Raw.
	fmt.Println(bson.Raw(b).String())

}
Output:

{"message": "Precomputed message!","time": {"$date":{"$numberLong":"1675282389000"}}}
Example (Unmarshal)

This example uses RawValue to delay parsing a value in a BSON message.

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"time"

	"go.mongodb.org/mongo-driver/bson"
)

func main() {
	b1, err := bson.Marshal(bson.M{
		"Format":    "UNIX",
		"Timestamp": 1675282389,
	})
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}

	b2, err := bson.Marshal(bson.M{
		"Format":    "RFC3339",
		"Timestamp": time.Unix(1675282389, 0).Format(time.RFC3339),
	})
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}

	for _, b := range [][]byte{b1, b2} {
		var res struct {
			Format    string
			Timestamp bson.RawValue // Delay parsing until we know the timestamp format.
		}

		err = bson.Unmarshal(b, &res)
		if err != nil {
			panic(err)
		}

		var t time.Time
		switch res.Format {
		case "UNIX":
			t = time.Unix(res.Timestamp.AsInt64(), 0)
		case "RFC3339":
			t, err = time.Parse(time.RFC3339, res.Timestamp.StringValue())
			if err != nil {
				panic(err)
			}
		}
		fmt.Println(res.Format, t.Unix())
	}

}
Output:

UNIX 1675282389
RFC3339 1675282389
