BSON::Encode

Encode a BSON::Document

Description

Encoding a document is a necessary step in the communication to a mongodb server. It makes the data fit in a smaller footprint and is independent to any hardware interpretations.

Note that when using the MongoDB driver package, the driver will handle the encoding and decoding.
