# BSON::String(3pm)

BSON type wrapper for strings

## NAME

BSON::String - BSON type wrapper for strings

## VERSION

version v1.12.2

## SYNOPSIS

```
    use BSON::Types ':all';
    bson_string( $string );
```

## DESCRIPTION

This module provides a BSON type wrapper for a string value.

Since Perl does not distinguish between numbers and strings, this module provides an explicit string type for a scalar value.

## ATTRIBUTES

### value

A scalar value, which will be stringified during construction.  The default is the empty string.

## METHODS

### TO\_JSON

Returns value as a string.

## OVERLOADING

The stringification operator (`""`) is overloaded to return the `"value"`, the full "minimal set" of overloaded operations is provided (per overload documentation) and fallback overloading is enabled.
