Load to the specified `result` a value‐semantic representation of the JSON text in the specified `input`. Optionally specify an `errorDescription` that, if an error occurs, is loaded with a description of the error. Optionally specify `options` which allow altering the maximum nesting depth. Return 0 on success, and a non‐zero value if `input` does not consist of valid JSON text or an error occurs when reading from `input`. If `options.allowTrailingText()` is `false` (the default), then an error will be reported if a valid JSON text is followed by any text that does not consist solely of white‐space characters. If `options.allowTrailingText()` is `true`, then this function will return success where a valid JSON document is followed by additional text as long as that text is separated from the valid JSON by a delimiter character (i.e., either the JSON text ends in a delimiter, or the text that follows starts with a delimiter). Here, delimiters are white‐space characters, `[]`,`]`,`{`,`}`,`,`, or `"`.
