function is_json($str){ 
    return json_decode($str) != null;
}

当检测到非法编码时，http://tr.php.net/manual/en/function.json-decode.php返回值为空。

只需添加这个条件:

check if the type is string and then json decode <?php $subject = ['description' => '200 extra contacts','value' => '15','product_code' => 'OS_CONT12']; $subject = '{"description":"200 extra contacts","value":15,"product_code":"OS_CONT12"}'; if(gettype($subject) == 'string'){ $data = json_decode($subject, true); print_r($data); } else{ print_r("saurabh kasmble"); } ?> OUTPUT : Array ( [description] => 200 extra contacts [value] => 15 [product_code] => OS_CONT12 )

//Tested thoroughly, Should do the job:
public static function is_json(string $json):bool
{
    json_decode($json);
    if (json_last_error() === JSON_ERROR_NONE) {
        return true;
    }
    return false;
}

应该是这样的:

 function isJson($string)
 {
    // 1. Speed up the checking & prevent exception throw when non string is passed
    if (is_numeric($string) ||
        !is_string($string) ||
        !$string) {
        return false;
    }

    $cleaned_str = trim($string);
    if (!$cleaned_str || !in_array($cleaned_str[0], ['{', '['])) {
        return false;
    }

    // 2. Actual checking
    $str = json_decode($string);
    return (json_last_error() == JSON_ERROR_NONE) && $str && $str != $string;
}

单元测试

public function testIsJson()
{
    $non_json_values = [
        "12",
        0,
        1,
        12,
        -1,
        '',
        null,
        0.1,
        '.',
        "''",
        true,
        false,
        [],
        '""',
        '[]',
        '   {',
        '   [',
    ];

   $json_values = [
        '{}',
        '{"foo": "bar"}',
        '[{}]',
        '  {}',
        ' {}  '
    ];

   foreach ($non_json_values as $non_json_value) {
        $is_json = isJson($non_json_value);
        $this->assertFalse($is_json);
    }

    foreach ($json_values as $json_value) {
        $is_json = isJson($json_value);
        $this->assertTrue($is_json);
    }
}

为PHP 5.2兼容性新创建的函数，如果你需要成功解码的数据:

function try_json_decode( $json, & $success = null ){
  // non-strings may cause warnings
  if( !is_string( $json )){
    $success = false;
    return $json;
  }

  $data = json_decode( $json );

  // output arg
  $success =

    // non-null data: success!
    $data !==  null  ||

    // null data from 'null' json: success!
    $json === 'null' ||

    // null data from '  null  ' json padded with whitespaces: success!
    preg_match('/^\s*null\s*$/', $json );

  // return decoded or original data
  return $success ? $data : $json;
}

用法:

$json_or_not = ...;

$data = try_json_decode( $json_or_not, $success );

if( $success )
     process_data( $data );
else what_the_hell_is_it( $data );

一些测试:

var_dump( try_json_decode( array(), $success ), $success );
// ret = array(0){}, $success == bool(false)

var_dump( try_json_decode( 123, $success ), $success );
// ret = int(123), $success == bool(false)

var_dump( try_json_decode('      ', $success ), $success );
// ret = string(6) "      ", $success == bool(false)

var_dump( try_json_decode( null, $success ), $success );
// ret = NULL, $success == bool(false)

var_dump( try_json_decode('null', $success ), $success );
// ret = NULL, $success == bool(true)

var_dump( try_json_decode('  null  ', $success ), $success );
// ret = NULL, $success == bool(true)

var_dump( try_json_decode('  true  ', $success ), $success );
// ret = bool(true), $success == bool(true)

var_dump( try_json_decode('  "hello"  ', $success ), $success );
// ret = string(5) "hello", $success == bool(true)

var_dump( try_json_decode('  {"a":123}  ', $success ), $success );
// ret = object(stdClass)#2 (1) { ["a"]=> int(123) }, $success == bool(true)

下面是我创建的一个简单的性能函数(在使用json_decode处理更大的字符串之前使用基本的字符串验证):

function isJson($string) {
    $response = false;

    if (
        is_string($string) &&
        ($string = trim($string)) &&
        ($stringLength = strlen($string)) &&
        (
            (
                stripos($string, '{') === 0 &&
                (stripos($string, '}', -1) + 1) === $stringLength
            ) ||
            (
                stripos($string, '[{') === 0 &&
                (stripos($string, '}]', -1) + 2) === $stringLength
            )
        ) &&
        ($decodedString = json_decode($string, true)) &&
        is_array($decodedString)
    ) {
        $response = true;
    }

    return $response;
}
