The memory at limit will never be accessed and the parser behaves as
if the character at limit is the nul terminator. This has the
effect of bounding text.
If endptr is non-NULL then text is permitted to contain data
following the value that this function parses and endptr will be
updated to point to the first character past the end of the text
parsed by this function. If endptr is NULL and there is extra data
then an error is returned.
If type is non-NULL then the value will be parsed to have that
type. This may result in additional parse errors (in the case that
the parsed value doesn't fit the type) but may also result in fewer
errors (in the case that the type would have been ambiguous, such as
with empty arrays).
In the event that the parsing is successful, the resulting glib.Variant
is returned. It is never floating, and must be freed with
Variant.unref.
In case of any error, NULL will be returned. If error is non-NULL
then it will be set to reflect the error that occurred.
Officially, the language understood by the parser is "any string
produced by Variant.print".
There may be implementation specific restrictions on deeply nested values,
which would result in a G_VARIANT_PARSE_ERROR_RECURSION error. glib.Variant is
guaranteed to handle nesting up to at least 64 levels.
Parses a glib.Variant from a text representation.
A single glib.Variant is parsed from the content of text.
The format is described here[gvariant-text].
