💅 BSON_ITER_AS_BOOL(3) 💅

okay bestie, welcome to libbson</> — yes, that libbson, the manual section 3 one — and lemme tell you about the little function that's about to make your field-reading era iconic ✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

bool
bson_iter_as_bool (const bson_iter_t *iter);

Like. That's it. That's the whole vibe. One function, one pointer, one bool coming back at you 🫶

🎀 PARAMETERS 🎀

  • iter — a bson_iter_t. that's the iterator, bestie, your main character. hand it over and let it cook 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So what does it do? It fetches the current field as if it were a boolean. literally just "hey, what's this field's truthiness" and it tells you, no cap ✨

bson_iter_as_bool() currently knows how to determine a boolean value from these types right here — and yes, the list is giving range, we love a versatile icon 👑

  • BSON_TYPE_BOOL
  • BSON_TYPE_DOUBLE
  • BSON_TYPE_INT32
  • BSON_TYPE_INT64
  • BSON_TYPE_NULL
  • BSON_TYPE_UNDEFINED
  • BSON_TYPE_UTF8

and the tea on the last one: BSON_TYPE_UTF8 will always equate to true. always. every single time. a string walks in and it's automatically true, no questions asked, the confidence is unmatched 😭💖

⭐ RETURNS ⭐

true if the field equates to non-zero. that's the whole rule, that's the vibe check, periodt 🔥

ok that's genuinely everything, no hidden lore, no footnote drama 🙈
