DESCRIPTION
Note:
This function shall insert document into collection.
If no _id element is found in document, then a bson_oid_t <https://www.mongoc.org/libbson/current/bson_oid_t.html> will be generated locally and added to the document. If you must know the inserted document's _id, generate it in your code and include it in the document. The _id you generate can be a bson_oid_t <https://www.mongoc.org/libbson/current/bson_oid_t.html> or any other non-array BSON type.
ERRORS
Errors are propagated via the error parameter.
RETURNS
Returns true if successful. Returns false and sets error if there are invalid arguments or a server or network error.
A write concern timeout or write concern error is considered a failure.
