Is there a pure JavaScript impl of BSON

[netSQL]

I could not find a pure JavaScript implementation of BSON.

Help?

I plan to use BSON client side, in the browser.

Help?

https://github.com/christkv/node-mongodb-native is supposed to have a
pure native BSON implementation aswell. Extracting only the BSON parts
might be tricky, though.

Out of curiosity, what would be the use-case for BSON on browser side?

I implemented objectId in Javascript. It's a bit of a head start if you roll your own.

Hi List,

Yes this: https://github.com/christkv/node-mongodb-native/tree/master/lib/mongodb/bson
is server side but it is not a trivial to port it to client side .js
(1 ex: buffers)

(one use case is html chat form using websocket to send non-encoded
strings to nodejs. heck, even AMF has .js encoder)

So no client side BSON?

[christkv]

just create a dummy class on the client side for buffers that hides
the string handling that's my suggestion. it's using buffers for
performance issues.

Otherwise dig through earlier tags and find the last version using
string con-cats. there is one in there I Promise. Why you need bson in
the client I don't know but I'm not asking :)

Cheers

I use bson in iPhone clients. bson turns out to be an awesome network layer binary format. It is compact, flexible, and allows quick indexing to examine packets and forward them to the correct destination. And in the end, you have to do no parsing (just verifying and validating!) when inserting data into mongo.
