Apoc.load.json for importing string

Neo4j Graph Platform Procedures & APOC

Does anybody know, if it is possible to import a json string directly via apoc.load.json instead of loading a file or an url with json data?

For example:

WITH '{
	"items": [{
		"question_id": 24620768,
		"link": "http://stackoverflow.com/questions/24620768/neo4j-cypher-query-get-last-n-elements",
		"title": "Neo4j cypher query: get last N elements",
		"answer_count": 1,
		"score": 1,
		"creation_date": 1404771217,
		"body_markdown": "I have a graph....How can I do that?",
		"tags": ["neo4j",
		"cypher"],
		"owner": {
			"reputation": 815,
			"user_id": 1212067,
			"link": "http://stackoverflow.com/users/1212067/"
		},
		"answers": [{
			"owner": {
				"reputation": 488,
				"user_id": 737080,
				"display_name": "Chris Leishman"
			},
			"answer_id": 24620959,
			"share_link": "http://stackoverflow.com/a/24620959",
			"body_markdown": "The simplest would be to use an ... some discussion on this here:...",
			"title": "Neo4j cypher query: get last N elements"
		}]
	}]
}' as jsonString 
CALL apoc.load.json(jsonString) YIELD value
UNWIND value.items as item
RETURN item.title, item.tags

Thanks in advance,

You can use the function

...
WITH apoc.convert.fromJsonMap(jsonString) as value
UNWIND value.items as item
RETURN item.title, item.tags

╒═════════════════════════════════════════╤══════════════════╕
│"item.title"                             │"item.tags"       │
╞═════════════════════════════════════════╪══════════════════╡
│"Neo4j cypher query: get last N elements"│["neo4j","cypher"]│

Thank you Michael,

I hope to find the time to try this out within the next days and will give feedback if it did the job.
