bson_reader_t

Streaming BSON Document Reader

Synopsis

#include <bson.h>

typedef struct _bson_reader_t bson_reader_t;

                                            bson_reader_read_func_t rf,
                                            bson_reader_destroy_func_t df);

                                            bool close_on_destroy);

                                            bson_error_t *error);
bson_reader_t *bson_reader_new_from_data   (const uint8_t *data,
                                            size_t length);

void           bson_reader_destroy         (bson_reader_t *reader);

Description

bson_reader_t is a structure used for reading a sequence of BSON documents. The sequence can come from a file-descriptor, memory region, or custom callbacks.

Example

Convert a Sequence of BSON documents to JSON
