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");
