NAME

       bson_string_t - String Building Abstraction

SYNOPSIS

       #include <bson.h>

       typedef struct
       {
          char     *str;
          uint32_t  len;
          uint32_t  alloc;
       } bson_string_t;

DESCRIPTION

       bson_string_t  is an abstraction for building strings. As chunks are added to the string, allocations are
       performed in powers of two.

       This API is useful if you need to build UTF‐8 encoded strings.

EXAMPLE

       bson_string_t *str;

       str = bson_string_new (NULL);
       bson_string_append_printf (str, "%d %s %f\n", 0, "some string", 0.123);
       printf ("%s\n", str‐>str);

       bson_string_free (str, true);
       NOTE
              You can call bson_string_free(3) with false if you would like to take ownership  of  str‐>str  \&.
              Some APIs that do this might call return bson_string_free (str, false); after building the string.
