Notes

  • Max key - Special type which compares higher than all other possible BSON element values.
  • Generic binary subtype - This is the most commonly used binary subtype and should be the 'default' for drivers and tools.
  • +
  • Compressed BSON Column - Compact storage of BSON data. This data + type uses delta and delta-of-delta compression and + run-length-encoding for efficient element storage. Also has an + encoding for sparse arrays containing missing values.
  • The BSON "binary" or "BinData" datatype is used to represent arrays of bytes. It is somewhat analogous to the Java notion of a ByteArray. BSON binary values have a subtype. This is used to
