Enum representing the various strategies for encoding Datas.

As per the BSON specification, the default strategy is to encode Datas as BSON binary types with the generic binary subtype.

  • Encode the Data by deferring to its default encoding implementation.

    Note: The default encoding implementation attempts to encode the Data as a [UInt8], but because BSON does not support integer types besides Int32 or Int64, it actually gets encoded to BSON as an [Int32]. This results in a space inefficient storage of the Data (using 4 bytes of BSON storage per byte of data).

  • Encode the Data by using the given closure. If the closure does not encode a value, an empty document will be encoded in its place.
