         * deep levels of nesting, converts the data and structure into nested documents with the appropriate fields.
         *
         * After building a hierarchy within / below a top-level document, it then returns that top-level parent.
         *
         * If we've received a string, treat it like valid JSON and try to parse it into an object. If this fails, the
         * string is invalid JSON, so we should assume that the input is the result of a JSON.parse()
         * call that returned a regular string value to be stored as a Field.
         *
         * If we've received something other than a string, since the caller might also pass in the results of a
         * JSON.parse() call, valid input might be an object, an array (still typeof object), a boolean or a number.
         * Anything else (like a function, etc. passed in naively as any) is meaningless for this operation.
         *
         * All TS/JS objects get converted directly to documents, directly preserving the key value structure. Everything else,
         * lacking the key value structure, gets stored as a field in a wrapper document.
         *
         * @param data for convenience and flexibility, either a valid JSON string to be parsed,
         * or the result of any JSON.parse() call.
         * @param title an optional title to give to the highest parent document in the hierarchy.
         * If whether this function creates a new document or appendToExisting is specified and that document already has a title,
         * because this title field can be left undefined for the opposite behavior, including a title will overwrite the existing title.
         * @param appendToExisting **if specified**, there are two cases, both of which return the target document:
         *
         * 1) the json to be converted can be represented as a document, in which case the target document will act as the root
         * of the tree and receive all the conversion results as new fields on itself
         * 2) the json can't be represented as a document, in which case the function will assign the field-level conversion
         * results to either the specified key on the target document, or to its "json" key by default.
         *
         * If not specified, the function creates and returns a new entirely generic document (different from the Doc.Create calls)
         * to act as the root of the tree.
         *
         * One might choose to specify this field if you want to write to a document returned from a Document.Create function call,
         * say a TreeView document that will be rendered, not just an untyped, identityless doc that would otherwise be created
         * from a default call to new Doc.
         *
         * @param excludeEmptyObjects whether non-primitive objects (TypeScript objects and arrays) should be converted even
         * if they contain no data. By default, empty objects and arrays are ignored.
