This module contains the BSON native addon only and is not meant to be used in isolation from the bson NPM module. It lives in it's own module so it can be an optional dependency for the bson module.

js-bson: Failed to load c++ bson extension, using pure JS version
We are experimenting with node-pre-gyp to publish and install prebuilt binaries. This means you don't need the full toolchain installed and configured correctly to use this module and you'll never have to see this message again. Currently, prebuilt binaries will only be used for Windows, as it is the most problematic platform for this issue. This will also allow us more time to evaluate the costs and benefits of prebuilt support on OSX and Linux.
If you are interested in prebuilt binary support on OSX or Linux, please join the discussion on this issue!
