{{alias}}( str[, reviver] )
    Attempts to parse a string as JSON.

    Function behavior differs from `JSON.parse()` as follows:

    - throws a `TypeError` if provided any value which is not a string.
    - throws a `TypeError` if provided a `reviver` argument which is not a
      function.
    - returns, rather than throws, a `SyntaxError` if unable to parse a string
      as JSON.

    Parameters
    ----------
    str: string
        String to parse.

    reviver: Function (optional)
        Transformation function.

    Returns
    -------
    out: any|Error
        Parsed value or an error.

    Examples
    --------
    > var obj = {{alias}}( '{"beep":"boop"}' )
    { 'beep': 'boop' }

    // Provide a reviver:
    > function reviver( key, value ) {
    ...     if ( key === '' ) { return value; }
    ...     if ( key === 'beep' ) { return value; }
    ... };
    > var str = '{"beep":"boop","a":"b"}';
    > var out = {{alias}}( str, reviver )
    { 'beep': 'boop' }
