NAME
bson_endianness - Endianness
The BSON specification dictates that the encoding format is in little-endian. Many implementations simply
ignore endianness altogether and expect that they are to be run on little-endian. Libbson supports both
Big and Little Endian systems. This means we use memcpy() when appropriate instead of dereferencing and
properly convert to and from the host endian format. We expect the compiler intrinsics to optimize it to
a dereference when possible.
