## Synopsis

    bson_t *
    bson_new_from_data (const uint8_t *data,
                        size_t         length);

## Parameters

data | A BSON encoded document buffer.
length | The length of data in bytes.

## Description

The bson_new_from_data() function shall create a new bson_t on the heap and copy the contents of data. This may be helpful when working with language bindings but is generally expected to be slower.

## Returns
