How do you know if an object is JSON in javascript? [duplicate]

Answer 1

function isJSON(data) {
    var isJson = false
    try {
        // this works with JSON string and JSON object, not sure about others
       var json = $.parseJSON(data);
       isJson = typeof json === 'object' ;
    } catch (ex) {
        console.error('data is not JSON');
    }
    return isJson;
}
