# bson_new_from_data()

## 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

A newly allocated bson_t if successful, otherwise NULL.
