+************
+
+Purpose
+=======
+
+parse_json(str, container)
+
+Parses the json string ``str`` and places the resulting json object
+into ``container`` where container can be any valid rsyslog variable.
+Returns 0 on success and something otherwise if ``str`` does **not**
+contain valid json.
+
+
+Example
+=======
+
+In the following example the json string is placed into the variable $!parsed.
+The output is placed in variable $.ret
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+   set $.ret = parse_json("{ \"c1\":\"data\" }", "\$!parsed");
