BSON::String(3pm)

💖 BSON::String — the perl manpage but make it cute

okay so this is BSON::String, from the perl manual pages (section 3pm), and bestie it's literally the BSON type wrapper for strings. that's the whole vibe. let's get into it 💅

---

✨ NAME ✨

BSON::String — BSON type wrapper for strings 🎀

---

🌸 VERSION 🌸

this is version v1.12.2. no cap.

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

here's the whole thing, copy it exactly bestie:

use BSON::Types ':all';

bson_string( $string );

that's it. that's the move. ✨

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so this module gives you a BSON type wrapper for a string value. iconic behaviour, honestly.

and here's why it exists — because Perl does not distinguish between numbers and strings (yeah, she's like that 😭), this module provides an explicit string type for a scalar value. so when you need something to be a string fr fr, this is how you say it out loud.

---

🎀 ATTRIBUTES 🎀

value

A scalar value, which will be stringified during construction. the default is the empty string. so if you don't pass anything, you get '' — quiet, humble, minimal. we love her. 🫶

---

🌈 METHODS 🌈

TO_JSON

Returns value as a string. that's it. that's the method. she serves. 💅

---

👑 OVERLOADING 👑

okay so the stringification operator ("") is overloaded to return the value. and that's not all — the full "minimal set" of overloaded operations is provided (per the overload documentation, iykyk), and fallback overloading is enabled. so she's flexible. she adapts. main character energy fr. ⭐
