+
+   pub fn try_new_array() -> Result<()> {

+===
+
+Rust code that is exposed to C should follow our C code style with
+respect to naming. This applies to all functions marked as
+``#[no_mangle]``. For example:

+.. code-block:: rust
+
+   #[no_mangle]
+   pub extern "C" SCJbNewArray() -> *mut JsonBuilder {
