To create arbitrary BigInts via the C++ API, use BigInt::NewFromWords.
An alternative, as you suggest, is to parse the string as source, because
"BigInt strings with 'n' suffixes" are BigInt literals. Instead of "eval",
the API functions to do that are Script::Compile and Script::Run. Look at
samples/shell.cc or test/cctest/* for examples.
Another alternative, depending on your requirements, might be to create
this custom "parser" (more of a wrapper, really) in JavaScript:
function MyBigInt(str) {
console.assert(str.endsWith("n"));
return BigInt(str.substring(0, str.length - 1));
}
