+BSON Data Types
+---------------
+
+BSON supports all JSON data structure types and adds support for types including 
+dates, different size integers, ``ObjectId``, and binary data. For a complete list of 
+supported types, see the :manual:`BSON Types </reference/bson-types>` page in the 
+{+mdb-server+} Manual.
+
+Universally Unique IDs (UUIDs)
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The {+driver-short+} supports UUIDs by using the BSON Binary subclass ``UUID``. You 
+can create a ``UUID`` object by using the ``UUID()`` constructor. The following code 
+example generates a random UUID:
+
+.. code-block:: javascript
+
+   import { UUID } from 'mongodb';  
+
+   const myUuid = new BSON.UUID();
