BSON-GO

This is a lightweight, zero dependency library providing some of the basic functionality from labix.org/v2/mgo/bson

This package is primarily for those wanting to keep their microservices loosely-coupled from their database service layer Therefore it is prudent to avoid using special types that are invariably tied to a specific database technology.

The purpose of this package is to provide the ability to create and validate Mongo ObjectIDs without having to actually deal with ObjectID types or any bson details. Creating a new objectID merely outputs a string

this is all official bson code modified slightly to output strings instead of objectId types

Current FeatureList:

1. Create new Object IDs output as a string
2. validate ObjectID strings

usage:

s := objectID.NewObjectID()
if ok := objectID.IsObjectIDHex(s); !ok {
  //handle error
}

according to the BSON page, I have to include this copyright disclaimer:
