  • bson: A bson_t.
  • key: An ASCII C string containing the name of the field.
  • key_length: The length of key in bytes, or -1 to determine the length with strlen().
  • value: A bson_t containing the sub-document to append.

The bson_append_document() function shall append child to bson using the specified key. The type of the field will be a document.

Returns true if the operation was applied successfully. The function will fail if appending value grows bson larger than INT32_MAX.
