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.
