ENDIANNESS

9       The  BSON  specification  dictates  that the encoding format is in lit‐
10       tle-endian. Many implementations simply  ignore  endianness  altogether
11       and  expect  that they are to be run on little-endian. Libbson supports
12       both Big and Little Endian systems. This means  we  use  memcpy()  when
13       appropriate  instead  of dereferencing and properly convert to and from
14       the host endian format. We expect the compiler intrinsics  to  optimize
15       it to a dereference when possible.
16

THREADING

18       Libbson's  data structures are NOT thread-safe. You are responsible for
19       accessing and mutating these structures from one thread at a time.
20
21       Libbson requires POSIX threads (pthreads) on all  UNIX-like  platforms.
22       On  Windows,  the native threading interface is used. Libbson uses your
23       system's threading library to safely generate unique ObjectIds, and  to
24       provide  a  fallback  implementation for atomic operations on platforms
25       without built-in atomics.
