To convert a string json to bson, do:

import org.bson.BasicBSONEncoder;
import org.bson.BSONObject;

BSONObject bson = (BSONObject)com.mongodb.util.JSON.parse(string_json);
BasicBSONEncoder encoder = new BasicBSONEncoder();
byte[] bson_byte = encoder.encode(bson);

To convert a bson to json, do:

import org.bson.BasicBSONDecoder;
import org.bson.BSONObject;

BasicBSONDecoder decoder = new BasicBSONDecoder();
BSONObject bsonObject = decoder.readObject(out);
String json_string = bsonObject.toString();
