BSON is a binary serialization format used to store documents and make remote procedure calls in MongoDB.

BSON Type	Common Use Case	Deprecated
Double (0x01)	Used to store floating-point numbers, such as prices, scientific measurements, or any data requiring decimal precision.	No
String (0x02)	Used for storing textual data, such as names, descriptions, addresses, or any human-readable information.	No
Object (0x03)	Used to represent embedded documents or objects in collections, which allows for storing nested or structured data.	No
Array (0x04)	Used to store lists of values, such as a list of tags, ordered collections, or sets of related items like a user’s favorite books.	No
Binary data (0x05)	Stores binary data, such as images, audio, video files, or encrypted data.	No
Undefined (0x06)	Reserved for historical purposes and should not be used in modern applications.	Yes
ObjectId (0x07)	Used to uniquely identify documents within a collection, typically as the default identifier for MongoDB documents (_id field).	No
Boolean (0x08)	Stores true or false values, useful for flags, toggles, or conditions such as whether a user is active or not.	No
Date (0x09)	Used to store dates and times, commonly used for timestamps, scheduling, or tracking document creation and modification times.	No
Null (0x0A)	Used to represent the absence of a value, indicating that a field is not set or explicitly null.	No
Regular expression (0x0B)	Used to store regular expressions, often used for pattern matching or filtering text fields within queries.	No
DBPointer (0x0C)	Used to reference a document from another collection. Historically used for database references but deprecated in favor of ObjectId.	Yes
JavaScript (0x0D)	Stores JavaScript code, typically used for server-side operations within MongoDB.	No
Symbol (0x0E)	Used for storing symbolic identifiers, typically in legacy systems. Rarely used in modern applications; String is more commonly used now.	Yes
JavaScript (with scope) (0x0F)	Stores JavaScript code with an associated scope, allowing the code to execute with a defined variable context. Typically used in advanced scripting scenarios.	No
32-bit integer (0x10)	Used to store small integer values, commonly for fields like counts, small identifiers, or any number not requiring a large range.	No
Timestamp (0x11)	Used to store special internal MongoDB timestamps, often for replication and internal operations.	No
64-bit integer (0x12)	Used for storing large integer values, such as file sizes, large counters, or any data requiring more range than a 32-bit integer.	No
Decimal128 (0x13)	Used for high-precision decimal numbers, such as for financial data like currencies or calculations requiring more decimal accuracy than a double.	No
Min key (0xFF)	Represents the smallest possible BSON element, often used for internal purposes like comparing keys in indexes.	No
Max key (0x7F)	Represents the largest possible BSON element, often used for internal purposes like comparing keys in indexes.	No
