Download as PPTX, PDF2 likes2,042 views
The document discusses BSON as a serialization format suitable for contemporary organizational needs, highlighting its benefits such as dynamic schema support and performance. It compares BSON with other serialization formats like XML, JSON, and Protocol Buffers, addressing the requirements for flexible and unstructured data in multi-tier and service-oriented architectures. It emphasizes BSON's additional data types and other advantages while encouraging further exploration of its uses.
Using BSON Beyond MongoDB
- 1. BSON – it’s not just for databases? Dwight Merriman www.bsonspec.org
- 2. What should we use as a serialization format for data / objects / documents in the modern organization?
- 3. What should we use as a serialization format for data / objects / documents in the modern organization? • XML? • Protocol Buffers? • Thrift? • JSON? • BSON?
- 4. New Requirements • Flexible & Unstructured Data • Multi-tier non-monolithic systems • Service oriented architectures • Disconnected devices, distribution (e.g. phones)
- 5. Things we might want • Performance • Readability • Standards • Implementations for all programming languages • Dynamic schema support
- 6. { x : “aa”, … } Things we might want • Dynamic schema support Service A Service B Service C Service D Client
- 7. Things we might want • Dynamic schema support Service A Service B Service C Service D Client { x : “aa”, … }
- 8. { x : “aa”, … } Things we might want • Dynamic schema support Service A’ Service B Service C’ Service D Client { x : “aa”, _new : 3 }
- 9. Things we might want • Performance • Readability • Standards • Implementations for all programming languages • Dynamic schema support
- 10. BSON • www.bsonspec.org • “Binary JSON” – http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7159 • Goals were: – A few extra data types, mainly: • Date • ByteArray – Fast scan-ability • Some other benefits too
- 11. Tools etc.
