bson-haskell Build Status

Haskell library for the encoding and decoding BSON documents, which are JSON-like objects with a standard binary encoding, defined at http://bsonspec.org. This library implements version 1 of that spec.

A BSON Document is an untyped (dynamically type-checked) record. I.e. it is a list of name-value pairs, where a Value is a single sum type with constructors for basic types (Bool, Int, Float, String, and Time), compound types (List, and (embedded) Document), and special types (Binary, Javascript, ObjectId, RegEx, and a few others).
