[Chicago] BSON

[Japhy Bartlett]

Yeah Tal, in other words: nobody uses BSON. :)

I just don't really see why you'd ever use it directly as a (particularly
python) dev.  It's like doing a talk about the various mysql engines, except
less useful since Mongo only uses BSON.

Just... kind of interesting, but an odd niche for a talk to a python group.
But who cares what I think?

 I do! Well, it's more that I appreciate the extended JSON notation as a way
to add type information to it when it doesn't include any in the basic spec.
For example, sending extended JSON from server to client with information
about dates. If you have mechanism in place to unpack it, you're good, even
if the data doesn't originally come from MongoDB.

I don't use BSON directly, but it would just as useful if you need to
transfer JSON between two node, or store a lot of JSON data. BSON would save
you bandwidth.
