Using the Lua Library

bson = require("bson4lua");

bsonBytes = bson.to_bytes({
	doubleValue = {
		type = 0x01, --Double type
		value = 3.141592653589793
	},
	intValue = {
		type = 0x10, --Int32 Type
		value = 360
	},
	stringValue = {
		type = 0x02, --String type
		value = "A string of characters"
	}
});

print(bsonBytes:byte(1, string.len(bsonBytes)));

bsonTable = bson.to_table(string.char(0x05, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00)); --Empty BSON document

print("Table: ");
for k, v in pairs(bsonTable) do
    print(k, v);
end

Apple Platforms

There is a CocoaPod for iOS, MacOS, tvOS, and watchOS. Add to your podfile:

pod 'BiSON'

Android Platforms

There is a jCenter artifact for Android. Add the following to your build.gradle:

dependencies {
    api 'com.smartdevicelink:bson_java_port:1.2.5'
}

Build and run sample program

cd examples
gcc -o sample sample.c -lbson
./sample

Build and run unit tests

Running unit tests requires check framework installed with pkg-config file (.pc). On Ubuntu, please install it by running:

sudo apt-get install check

Once the framework is installed, invoke configure with --with-tests option, build the library then run make check:

./configure --with-tests
make
make check
