The MongoDB Go driver team is pleased to release the first beta release of the official Go driver.

This release updates the BSON codec system, changes the location of various types in the BSON library, and contains a restructure of the repository. This release contains a stability guarantee for the packages not under the x directory.

Documentation can be found on GoDoc and the MongoDB documentation site. Questions and inquiries can be asked on the mongo-go-driver Google Group. Bugs can be reported in the Go Driver Jira where a list of current issues can be found.

Repository Structure & Stability

This release comes with the first set of stabilizing APIs. Unless significant issues are found with stabilizing APIs, they will not be changed between this beta and the first major release of this driver. The packages have been restructured to better indicate which packages are stabilizing and which are not. Libraries under the x directory do not follow a stability guarantee and may change significantly in the future.

BSON Codec System

The BSON codec system has been improved to be more flexible and extensible. The primitive package has gained the D, M, and A types, which are used by default when decoding into an interface{}.
