11 Libbson contains a lightweight memory abstraction to make portability
12 to new platforms easier. Additionally, it helps us integrate with
13 interesting higher-level languages. One caveat, however, is that Libb‐
14 son is not designed to deal with Out of Memory (OOM) situations. Doing
15 so requires extreme diligence throughout the application stack that has
16 rarely been implemented correctly. This may change in the future. As it
17 stands now, Libbson will abort() under OOM situations.
18
19 To aid in language binding integration, Libbson allows for setting a
20 custom memory allocator via bson_mem_set_vtable(). This allocation may
21 be reversed via bson_mem_restore_vtable().
