# The MongoDB\BSON\BinaryInterface interface

(mongodb >=1.3.0)

## Introduction

This interface is implemented by MongoDB\BSON\Binary to be used as a parameter, return, or property type in userland classes.

## Class synopsis

class MongoDB\BSON\BinaryInterface {
/* Methods */
abstract public getData(): string
abstract public getType(): int
abstract public __toString(): string
}

## Changelog

Version | Description
--- | ---
PECL mongodb 1.15.0 | Return types for methods are declared as tentative on PHP 8.0 and newer, triggering deprecation notices in code that implements this interface without declaring the appropriate return types. The `#[ReturnTypeWillChange]` attribute can be added to silence the deprecation notice.
