BSON_CHARACTER...TRING_ROUTINES(3)

✨ BSON_CHARACTER...STRING_ROUTINES(3) ✨

okay so bestie, this one's from the libbson manual (section 3, iykyk) and it's a lil baby page but it's important πŸ’…


🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So here's the vibe: libbson ships a small number of character and string routines β€” like, not a whole buffet, just a cute lil snack pack πŸ“

Why? Two reasons, and they're both iconic:

  • they're there to substitute for those that are not available on all platforms β€” because not every platform woke up and chose to have the same string functions, and honestly? relatable 😭
  • they exist to make UTF-8 character manipulation convenient β€” so you're not out here doing byte gymnastics by hand, no ma'am 🧚

That's it. That's the whole thing. Short, sweet, does exactly what it says on the tin ✨
