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.

THREADING

       Libbson's  data  structures  are  NOT  thread-safe.  You are responsible for accessing and mutating these
       structures from one thread at a time.

       Libbson requires POSIX threads (pthreads) on all UNIX-like platforms. On Windows,  the  native  threading
       interface  is used. Libbson uses your system's threading library to safely generate unique ObjectIds, and
       to provide a fallback implementation for atomic operations on platforms without built-in atomics.
