Synopsis#

bool
bson_validate (const bson_t *bson, bson_validate_flags_t flags, size_t *offset);

Parameters#

  • bson: A bson_t.

  • flags: A bitwise-or of all desired bson_validate_flags_t.

  • offset: A location for the offset within bson where the error occurred.

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