EJSON is an extension of JSON to support more types. It supports all JSON-safe
types, as well as:

- **Date** - JavaScript `Date`
- **Binary** - JavaScript `Uint8Array` or the
result of [`EJSON.newBinary`](http://docs.meteor.com/#ejson_new_binary)
- **User-defined types** - see [`EJSON.addType`](http://docs.meteor.com/#ejson_add_type)

All EJSON serializations are also valid JSON. For example an object with a date
and a binary buffer would be serialized in EJSON as:

{
"d": {"$date": 1358205756553},
"b": {"$binary": "c3VyZS4="}
}

For more details, see the [EJSON section](http://docs.meteor.com/#ejson) of the Meteor docs.
