NAME

BSON::Decode - Decode BSON file and return a perl data structure!

VERSION

Version 0.06

SYNOPSIS

A small module to parse BSON file to a perl structure

my $file = shift;
open( my $INF ,$file);
my $bs = BSON::Decode->new($INF);

say Dumper $bs->fetch(); # read first element
say Dumper $bs->fetch(); # read second element
$bs->rewind();# rewind the filehandle
say Dumper $bs->fetch_all(); # read all element in an ARRAY
close $INF;

DESCRIPTION

This is a pure perl BSON decoder. It is simple and without any dependencies.
(It was mandatory to allow use in an embeded system)
The main use is to compare 2 BSON files

Some of the  BSON grammar's element are not implemented

\x06 	Undefined (value)  Deprecated
\x0C   DBPointer          Deprecated
\x0E                      Deprecated

For binary content (\x05) The data is uuencoded as value of the subtype.

METHOD

new

Instanciate the parser.

By default the parser read from STDIN (unix filter).
In that case no rewind is possible. Only sequential read.
my $bs = BSON::Decode->new();
It is possible to pass an argument to the constructor to chose another source.

filehandle

an open filehandle from where to read the BSON data:
open( my $INF ,$file);
my $bs = BSON::Decode->new($INF);

file name

this a path to an existing BSON file:
my $bs = BSON::Decode->new($file);

scalar

a perl scalar with the BSON data:
my $bs = BSON::Decode->new($bson);

fetch_all

Parse the BSON data and return an ARRAY with each element in a perl structure.
The parsing is done from the current position.
e.g.
   my $bs = BSON::Decode->new($bson_data);
   my $bson = $bs->fetch_all();

If a parameter is provided, this override the parameter from the class new
And allow a one line fetch_all like this:
my $bson = BSON::Decode->fetch_all('t/test1.bson');

fetch

Parse the BSON data and return the next element in a perl structure.
e.g.
   my $bs = BSON::Decode->new($bson_data);
   my $bson = $bs->fetch();

rewind

Rewind the file descriptor ( or buffer ).
!!! BUT NOT FOR STDIN !!!
e.g.
   my $bs = BSON::Decode->new($file);
   say Dumper $bs->fetch();

   $bs->rewind();
   say Dumper $bs->fetch_all(); # all from beginning if no rewind read all remaining elements after the first one.

delete_hash_deep

Function to delete some keys matching a regex from a hash in deep (multiple level)
This allow to compare 2 BSON data but skip some fields.
e.g.
   use BSON::Decode
   use Text::Diff;
   my @skip = ( lastUpdated$', '(?i)timestamp', '^uptimeMs$' );
   my $codec1 = BSON::Decode->new( $file1 );
   my $bson1  = $codec1->fetch_all();

   my $codec2 = BSON::Decode->new( $file2 );
   my $bson2  = $codec2->fetch_all();

   delete_hash_deep( $bson1, \@skip );
   delete_hash_deep( $bson2, \@skip );

   my $b1 = Dumper($bson1);
   my $b2 = Dumper($bson2);

   my $diff = diff( \$b1, \$b2 );

   say "$all1{$f}; diff=<$diff>" if $diff;


!!! if the hash is empty, it  stay in the perl structure
