bson_validate - Man Page

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

• 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.

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.

If bson passes the requested validations, returns true. Otherwise, returns false and if offset is non-NULL it will be written with the byte offset in the document where an error was detected.

To get more information about the specific validation failure, use bson_validate_with_error_and_offset() instead.

bson_visitor_t can be used for custom validation, Example Custom Validation.
