Use Case

As a... BSON user
I want... EJSON.serialize to convert Uint8Arrays to the same representation as BSON.Binary
So that...  Uint8Array's handling aligns with other types in EJSON and BSON

// Example with regexp
> BSON.EJSON.parse(BSON.EJSON.stringify(/asdfa/))
new BSONRegExp('asdfa', '')

// Handling of BSON.Binary
> BSON.EJSON.parse(BSON.EJSON.stringify(new BSON.Binary([1,2,3,4,5])))
Binary.createFromBase64('AQIDBAU=', 0)
 
// Current handling of Uint8Array
> BSON.EJSON.parse(BSON.EJSON.stringify(new Uint8Array([1,2,3,4,5])))
{ '0': 1, '1': 2, '2': 3, '3': 4, '4': 5 }

User Experience

• Correct EJSON serialization/stringification of Uint8Array
• Not sure how much this impacts users, was found here

Dependencies

• Not blocking for logging, but will make the changes in this PR more accurate

Risks/Unknowns

• This would be a bug fix, but would we consider it breaking?

Acceptance Criteria

Implementation Requirements

• Update EJSON.serialize and EJSON.stringify to ensure that it handles Uint8Array instances by wrapping them with a BSON.Binary instance

Testing Requirements

• Add unit tests to verify that EJSON.serialize(Uint8Array) returns a BSON.Binary
• Add unit tests to verify that EJSON.stringify(Unit8Array) returns the same string as EJSON.stringify() of a BSON.Binary representing the same data

Documentation Requirements

• None
