NAME¶
bson_endianness - Endianness
The BSON specification dictates that the encoding format is in
little-endian. Many implementations simply ignore endianness altogether and
expect that they are to be run on little-endian. Libbson supports both Big
and Little Endian systems. This means we use memcpy() when
appropriate instead of dereferencing and properly convert to and from the
host endian format. We expect the compiler intrinsics to optimize it to a
dereference when possible.
