libbson is a library providing useful routines related to building, parsing, and iterating BSON documents. It is a useful base for those wanting to write high-performance C extensions to higher level languages such as python, ruby, or perl.

$ sudo yum install automake autoconf libtool make gcc
$ ./autogen.sh --enable-silent-rules
$ make
$ sudo make install

You can run the unit tests with

$ make test

$ ./configure --enable-silent-rules
$ make
$ sudo make install

In your source code:

#include <bson.h>

To get the include path and libraries appropriate for your system.

gcc my_program.c $(pkg-config --cflags --libs libbson-1.0)

See the examples/ directory for how to use the libbson library in your application.

See the doc/ directory for documentation on individual types.
