"""Convert a string, dict or file-like object into a STIX object.
Args:
data (str, dict, file-like object): The STIX 2 content to be parsed.
allow_custom (bool): Whether to allow custom properties as well unknown
custom objects. Note that unknown custom objects cannot be parsed
into STIX objects, and will be returned as is. Default: False.
version (str): If present, it forces the parser to use the version
provided. Otherwise, the library will make the best effort based
on checking the "spec_version" property. If none of the above are
possible, it will use the default version specified by the library.
Returns:
An instantiated Python STIX object.
Warnings:
'allow_custom=True' will allow for the return of any supplied STIX
dict(s) that cannot be found to map to any known STIX object types
(both STIX2 domain objects or defined custom STIX2 objects); NO
validation is done. This is done to allow the processing of possibly
unknown custom STIX objects (example scenario: I need to query a
third-party TAXII endpoint that could provide custom STIX objects that
I don't know about ahead of time)
