What Is a JSON to BSON Converter?

This tool converts JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) to BSON (Binary JSON). JSON and BSON are data formats used to exchange information between applications. JSON is a human-readable text format and it's popular in web development, APIs, and modern databases. However, when transferring large amounts of data, JSON can be very inefficient because of the large amount of whitespace indentation characters that need to be transmitted, as well as curly braces and other syntactic JSON characters. BSON, on the other hand, is a binary representation of JSON data, making it much more compact and efficient for storing and transmitting data. Converting JSON to BSON significantly reduces the amount of data transmitted and speeds up its parsing. Once you load your JSON file in the input area, you'll see a hex dump of the BSON file in the output area. Click the "Save as" button to download the binary file. By default, the output BSON file has the ".bson" extension but you can change it to another in the options. Other common BSON extensions are ".bjson" and ".bin". If you need to convert a machine-readable BSON file back to a human-readable JSON file, you can use our Convert BSON to JSON tool. Json-abulous!

JSON to BSON Converter Examples

Convert JSON to Binary JSON

In this example, we convert a simple JSON object with two key-value pairs ("substance": "water" and "formula": "H2O") into a binary representation using the BSON format (Binary JSON). The output BSON is printed as hexadecimal bytes in the output and can be downloaded as a binary file with the extension ".bson" via the "Save As" button.

{ "substance": "water", "formula": "H2O" }
0x2b 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x02 0x73 0x75 0x62 0x73 0x74 0x61 0x6e 0x63 0x65 0x00 0x06 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x77 0x61 0x74 0x65 0x72 0x00 0x02 0x66 0x6f 0x72 0x6d 0x75 0x6c 0x61 0x00 0x04 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x48 0x32 0x4f 0x00 0x00

Convert a JSON Array to a BSON Array

In this example, we convert a JSON array containing three types of coffee beans into binary BSON format. After the conversion, we change the BSON file extension to a custom one ".bin", which is well-suited for use with MongoDB databases.

["Arabica", "Robusta", "Liberica"]

Convert Nested JSON Objects to BJSON

In this example, we load a more complex JSON object containing nested structures. As you can see, in the textual representation of JSON, larger and more complex objects can lead to inefficiencies as they contain a lot of whitespace characters that are used for indentation. However, converting such data to the BJSON format significantly reduces the size as the whitespace characters are omitted. The output data is represented as hex bytes but the binary file itself has the extension ".bjson".
