No. Set-returning functions follow a somewhat complex call protocol that
may involve the function being called multiple times (returning one row
each time as a composite Datum) or may involve the function being called
once and returning a tuplestore (not as the return value but via the
ReturnSetInfo struct).

I would not try calling a SRF directly from C code without going through
SPI (i.e. setting up and running an actual query from inside your
function).

I definitely think you should be looking at pg_parse_json instead.
