// Package mongo provides a MongoDB Driver API for Go.
//
// Basic usage of the driver starts with creating a Client from a connection
// string. To do so, call Connect:
//
//    ctx, cancel := context.WithTimeout(context.Background(), 20*time.Second)
//    defer cancel()
//    client, err := mongo.Connect(ctx, options.Client().ApplyURI("mongodb://foo:bar@localhost:27017"))
//    if err != nil { return err }
//
// This will create a new client and start monitoring the MongoDB server on localhost.
// The Database and Collection types can be used to access the database:
//
//    collection := client.Database("baz").Collection("qux")
//
// A Collection can be used to query the database or insert documents:
//
//    res, err := collection.InsertOne(context.Background(), bson.M{"hello": "world"})
//    if err != nil { return err }
//    id := res.InsertedID
//
// Several methods return a cursor, which can be used like this:
//
//    cur, err := collection.Find(context.Background(), bson.D{})
//    if err != nil { log.Fatal(err) }
//    defer cur.Close(context.Background())
//    for cur.Next(context.Background()) {
//      // To decode into a struct, use cursor.Decode()
//      result := struct{
//        Foo string
//        Bar int32
//      }{}
//      err := cur.Decode(&result)
//      if err != nil { log.Fatal(err) }
//      // do something with result...
//
//      // To get the raw bson bytes use cursor.Current
//      raw := cur.Current
//      // do something with raw...
//    }
//    if err := cur.Err(); err != nil {
//      return err
//    }
//
// Cursor.All will decode all of the returned elements at once:
//
//    var results []struct{
//      Foo string
//      Bar int32
//    }
//    if err = cur.All(context.Background(), &results); err != nil {
//      log.Fatal(err)
//    }
//    // do something with results...
//
// Methods that only return a single document will return a *SingleResult, which works
// like a *sql.Row:
//
//    result := struct{
//      Foo string
//      Bar int32
//    }{}
//    filter := bson.D{{"hello", "world"}}
//    err := collection.FindOne(context.Background(), filter).Decode(&result)
//    if err != nil { return err }
//    // do something with result...
//
// All Client, Collection, and Database methods that take parameters of type interface{}
// will return ErrNilDocument if nil is passed in for an interface{}.
//
// Additional examples can be found under the examples directory in the driver's repository and
// on the MongoDB website.
//
// Error Handling
//
// Errors from the MongoDB server will implement the ServerError interface, which has functions to check for specific
// error codes, labels, and message substrings. These can be used to check for and handle specific errors. Some methods,
// like InsertMany and BulkWrite, can return an error representing multiple errors, and in those cases the ServerError
// functions will return true if any of the contained errors satisfy the check.
//
// There are also helper functions to check for certain specific types of errors:
//    IsDuplicateKeyError(error)
//    IsNetworkError(error)
//    IsTimeout(error)
//
// Potential DNS Issues
//
// Building with Go 1.11+ and using connection strings with the "mongodb+srv"[1] scheme is
// incompatible with some DNS servers in the wild due to the change introduced in
// https://github.com/golang/go/issues/10622. If you receive an error with the message "cannot
// unmarshal DNS message" while running an operation, we suggest you use a different DNS server.
//
// Client Side Encryption
//
// Client-side encryption is a new feature in MongoDB 4.2 that allows specific data fields to be encrypted. Using this
// feature requires specifying the "cse" build tag during compilation.
//
// Note: Auto encryption is an enterprise-only feature.
//
// The libmongocrypt C library is required when using client-side encryption. Specific versions of libmongocrypt
// are required for different versions of the Go Driver:
//
// - Go Driver v1.2.0 requires libmongocrypt v1.0.0 or higher
//
// - Go Driver v1.5.0 requires libmongocrypt v1.1.0 or higher
//
// - Go Driver v1.8.0 requires libmongocrypt v1.3.0 or higher
//
// - Go Driver v1.10.0 requires libmongocrypt v1.5.0 or higher.
// There is a severe bug when calling RewrapManyDataKey with libmongocrypt versions less than 1.5.2.
// This bug may result in data corruption.
// Please use libmongocrypt 1.5.2 or higher when calling RewrapManyDataKey.
//
// To install libmongocrypt, follow the instructions for your
// operating system:
//
// 1. Linux: follow the instructions listed at
// https://github.com/mongodb/libmongocrypt#installing-libmongocrypt-from-distribution-packages to install the correct
// deb/rpm package.
//
// 2. Mac: Follow the instructions listed at https://github.com/mongodb/libmongocrypt#installing-libmongocrypt-on-macos
// to install packages via brew and compile the libmongocrypt source code.
//
// 3. Windows:
//
//    mkdir -p c:/libmongocrypt/bin
//    mkdir -p c:/libmongocrypt/include
//
//    // Run the curl command in an empty directory as it will create new directories when unpacked.
//    curl https://s3.amazonaws.com/mciuploads/libmongocrypt/windows/latest_release/libmongocrypt.tar.gz --output libmongocrypt.tar.gz
//    tar -xvzf libmongocrypt.tar.gz
//
//    cp ./bin/mongocrypt.dll c:/libmongocrypt/bin
//    cp ./include/mongocrypt/*.h c:/libmongocrypt/include
//    export PATH=$PATH:/cygdrive/c/libmongocrypt/bin
//
// libmongocrypt communicates with the mongocryptd process or mongo_crypt shared library for automatic encryption.
// See AutoEncryptionOpts.SetExtraOptions for options to configure use of mongocryptd or mongo_crypt.
