ENDIANNESS

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

THREADING

15       Libbson's  data structures are NOT thread-safe. You are responsible for
16       accessing and mutating these structures from one thread at a time.
17
18       Libbson requires POSIX threads (pthreads) on all  UNIX-like  platforms.
19       On  Windows,  the native threading interface is used. Libbson uses your
20       system's threading library to safely generate unique ObjectIds, and  to
21       provide  a  fallback  implementation for atomic operations on platforms
22       without built-in atomics.
