This library adds support for BSON to the Jackson JSON processor.
BSON is a binary representation of JSON. It has gained prominence by its usage as the main exchange and persistence format of the document-oriented database management system MongoDB.
The bson4jackson library integrates completely into Jackson. Please have a look at the Jackson wiki for a complete description. For more information you may also have a look at the bson4jackson tutorial.
The BSON specification defines some additional types not available in the original JSON specification. These types are mapped to simple wrapper objects.
bson4jackson binaries are available from the GitHub Download page.
You may also use Maven to download bson4jackson:
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>de.undercouch</groupId>
<artifactId>bson4jackson</artifactId>
<version>1.1.2</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
If you're using sbt, you may add the following line to your project:
val bson4jackson = "de.undercouch" % "bson4jackson" % "1.1.2"
