def registerSimpleLink(jsonInput: object) -> list:
"""
Creates and saves a new link to the database, using a json as input. Validates that the json has the required format. The created link will either have just an alias (an empty link), or be complete (alias, plus operation and links). The function returns the created link.
Parameters
----------
name : jsonInput
A json provided as input, which will be validated against the TextOperations.validateJSON function (an "alias" property is the only requirement).
Raises
------
TypeError
If jsonInput parameter doesn't pass the validation, an error is raised.
