How to create a RabbitMQ-Trigger for an Azure Function App in 2025

Hello,

I am trying to write an Azure Function App in python that should automatically pull messages from RabbitMQ.

The only example that I can find of how to do this is the following documentation:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-functions/functions-bindings-rabbitmq-trigger?tabs=isolated-process&pivots=programming-language-python

This however doesn't work. My function.json always tells me that there are syntax-errors in it when I try to save it. Also why aren't there decorator-triggers like with HTTP- and Service Bus-Triggers?
I'd like to have an actual working example of how to set up RabbitMQ-Triggers for an Azure Function in Python.
