Try to parse it and catch any failure. There isn’t a more fool-proof way to check if JSON is valid than that. Something like this would work:

function isValidJSON(s) { 
        try { 
                JSON.parse(s); 
                return true; 
        } 
        catch (e) { 
        } 
        return false; 
} 
 
// Run a few test cases: 
console.log(`isValidJSON("4") = ${isValidJSON("4")}`); // prints true 
console.log(`isValidJSON("[4") = ${isValidJSON("[4")}`); // prints false 
console.log(`isValidJSON("[4]") = ${isValidJSON("[4]")}`); // prints true
