bson_new_from_json()#

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.
