pg_documentdb_core is a PostgreSQL extension that introduces BSON datatype support and operations for native Postgres. This core component is essential for enabling document-oriented NoSQL capabilities within a PostgreSQL environment. It provides the foundational data structures and functions required to handle BSON data types, which are crucial for performing CRUD operations on documents.

• BSON Datatype Support: Adds BSON (Binary JSON) datatype to PostgreSQL, allowing for efficient storage and manipulation of JSON-like documents.
• Native Operations: Implements native PostgreSQL operations for BSON data, ensuring seamless integration and performance.
• Extensibility: Serves as the core building block for additional functionalities and extensions within the DocumentDB ecosystem.

pg_documentdb is the public API surface for DocumentDB, providing CRUD functionality on documents stored in the database. This component leverages the capabilities of pg_documentdb_core to offer a comprehensive set of APIs for managing document data within PostgreSQL.

• CRUD Operations: Provides a rich set of APIs for creating, reading, updating, and deleting documents.
• Advanced Queries: Supports complex queries, including full-text searches, geospatial queries, and vector embeddings.
• Integration: Works seamlessly with pg_documentdb_core to deliver robust document management capabilities.

To use pg_documentdb, you need to have pg_documentdb_core installed and configured in your PostgreSQL environment. Once set up, you can leverage the APIs provided by pg_documentdb to perform various document operations.
