SYNOPSIS

          bson_t *
          bson_new_from_json (const uint8_t *data, ssize_t len, bson_error_t *error);

PARAMETERS

       • data: A UTF-8 encoded string containing valid JSON.

       • len: The length of data in bytes excluding a trailing \0 or -1 to determine the length with strlen().

       • error: An optional location for a bson_error_t <>.

DESCRIPTION

       The  bson_new_from_json() function allocates and initializes a new bson_t <> by parsing the JSON found in
       data.  Only a single JSON object may exist in data or an error will be set and NULL returned.

       Deprecated behavior: If there are multiple comma-separated JSONs in data, the keys  from  all  JSONs  are
       merged  in the returned BSON.  For example, {"a": 1},{"b": 2} is parsed as {"a": 1, "b": 2}. If the first
       character encountered after the last valid JSON object is {, all following characters are ignored and  no
       error is set.  Otherwise, an error will be set and NULL returned.  Errors ------

       Errors are propagated via the error parameter.

RETURNS

       A newly allocated bson_t <> if successful, otherwise NULL and error is set.
