      <para>
       This function validates inputs which

       provided that they are less than 4 GiB long.

      Maximum nesting depth of the structure being validated.
      The value must be greater than <literal>0</literal>,
      and less than or equal to <literal>2147483647</literal>.

      Callers should use reasonably small values,
      because larger depths require more buffer space and will
      increase the recursion depth, unlike the current <function>json_decode</function> implementation.
