bson_validate_with_error_and_offset()#

Synopsis#

bool
bson_validate_with_error_and_offset (const bson_t *bson,
                                     bson_validate_flags_t flags,
                                     size_t *offset,
                                     bson_error_t *error)

Parameters#

bson: A bson_t.
flags: A bitwise-or of all desired bson_validate_flags_t.
offset: Optional location where the error offset will be written.
error: Optional bson_error_t.

Description#

Validates a BSON document by walking through the document and inspecting the keys and values for valid content.

You can modify how the validation occurs through the use of the flags parameter, see bson_validate_flags_t for details.

Returns#

If bson passes the requested validations, returns true. Otherwise, returns false and writes each non-NULL output parameter: offset with the byte offset of the detected error and error with the details.

The bson_error_t domain is set to BSON_ERROR_INVALID. Its code is set to one of the bson_validate_flags_t flags indicating which validation failed; for example, if a key contains invalid UTF-8, then the code is set to BSON_VALIDATE_UTF8, but if the basic structure of the BSON document is corrupt, the code is set to BSON_VALIDATE_NONE. The error message is filled out, and gives more detail if possible.
