# Mango::BSON::Binary(3pm)

Binary type

## NAME

Mango::BSON::Binary - Binary type

## SYNOPSIS

```
  use Mango::BSON::Binary;
  my $bin = Mango::BSON::Binary->new(data => $bytes, type => 'generic');
  say $bin->data;
```

## DESCRIPTION

Mango::BSON::Binary is a container for the BSON binary type used by Mango::BSON. For `"JSON"` implementations like Mojo::JSON, that support the `"TO_JSON"` method, it will automatically `"Base64"` encode the binary data.

## ATTRIBUTES

Mango::BSON::Binary implements the following attributes.

### data

```
  my $bytes = $bin->data;
  $bin      = $bin->data($bytes);
```

Binary data.

### type

```
  my $type = $bin->type;
  $bin     = $bin->type('generic');
```

Binary subtype.

## METHODS

Mango::BSON::Binary inherits all methods from Mojo::Base and implements the following new ones.

### TO\_JSON

```
  my $b64 = $bin->TO_JSON;
```

Base64 encode "data".

## OPERATORS

Mango::BSON::Binary overloads the following operators.

### bool

```
  my $bool = !!$bin;
```

Always true.

### stringify

```
  my $str = "$bin";
```

Alias for "data".
