if you need to write any sorts of scala objects to mongoDB objects, and read any mongo DBObjects back to scala objects, the-bson can help you out!

Features

Typeclasses for encoding objects to Mongo DBObjects and decoding things from DBObjects
Typeclasses, with several provided instances, for extracting primitives from DBObject fields, and writing primitives to DBObject fields.
Utilities for building encoders, decoders, and codecs (including macros for deriving them from case classes)

Inspiration

This library was inspired by and is modeled on the Argonaut library, which is a great way to create and decode Json in Scala. The structure and interfaces of this library were made to be familiar to a user of Argonaut.
