使用json_decode“探测”它实际上可能不是最快的方法。如果它是一个嵌套很深的结构，那么实例化大量数组对象来丢弃它们是浪费内存和时间。

所以使用preg_match和RFC4627正则表达式来确保有效性可能会更快:

  // in JS:
  var my_JSON_object = !(/[^,:{}\[\]0-9.\-+Eaeflnr-u \n\r\t]/.test(
         text.replace(/"(\\.|[^"\\])*"/g, '')));

在PHP中也一样:

  return !preg_match('/[^,:{}\\[\\]0-9.\\-+Eaeflnr-u \\n\\r\\t]/',
       preg_replace('/"(\\.|[^"\\\\])*"/', '', $json_string));

不过，我不是一个性能爱好者，不会在这里费心进行基准测试。

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 )

我不知道我的解决方案的性能或优雅性，但这就是我正在使用的:

if (preg_match('/^[\[\{]\"/', $string)) {
    $aJson = json_decode($string, true);
    if (!is_null($aJson)) {
       ... do stuff here ...
    }
}

因为我所有的JSON编码字符串都以{”开头，所以用RegEx进行测试就足够了。我对RegEx一点也不流利，所以可能有更好的方法来做到这一点。另外:strpos()可能更快。

我只是想贡献我的价值。

备注:刚刚将RegEx字符串更新为/^[\[\{]\"/，也可以找到JSON数组字符串。所以它现在在字符串的开头寻找["或{"。

我使用的最简单和最快的方法是跟随;

$json_array = json_decode( $raw_json , true );

if( $json_array == NULL )   //check if it was invalid json string
    die ('Invalid');  // Invalid JSON error

 // you can execute some else condition over here in case of valid JSON

这是因为如果输入的字符串不是json或无效json, json_decode()将返回NULL。

验证JSON的简单函数

如果您必须在多个地方验证JSON，您总是可以使用下面的函数。

function is_valid_json( $raw_json ){
    return ( json_decode( $raw_json , true ) == NULL ) ? false : true ; // Yes! thats it.
}

在上面的函数中，如果它是一个有效的JSON，则返回true。

在GuzzleHttp:

/**
 * Wrapper for json_decode that throws when an error occurs.
 *
 * @param string $json    JSON data to parse
 * @param bool $assoc     When true, returned objects will be converted
 *                        into associative arrays.
 * @param int    $depth   User specified recursion depth.
 * @param int    $options Bitmask of JSON decode options.
 *
 * @return mixed
 * @throws \InvalidArgumentException if the JSON cannot be decoded.
 * @link http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.json-decode.php
 */
function json_decode($json, $assoc = false, $depth = 512, $options = 0)
{
    $data = \json_decode($json, $assoc, $depth, $options);
    if (JSON_ERROR_NONE !== json_last_error()) {
        throw new \InvalidArgumentException(
            'json_decode error: ' . json_last_error_msg());
    }

    return $data;
}

/**
 * Wrapper for JSON encoding that throws when an error occurs.
 *
 * @param mixed $value   The value being encoded
 * @param int    $options JSON encode option bitmask
 * @param int    $depth   Set the maximum depth. Must be greater than zero.
 *
 * @return string
 * @throws \InvalidArgumentException if the JSON cannot be encoded.
 * @link http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.json-encode.php
 */
function json_encode($value, $options = 0, $depth = 512)
{
    $json = \json_encode($value, $options, $depth);
    if (JSON_ERROR_NONE !== json_last_error()) {
        throw new \InvalidArgumentException(
            'json_encode error: ' . json_last_error_msg());
    }

    return $json;
}

使用PHPBench和下面的类，得到了以下结果:

<?php

declare(strict_types=1);

/**

 * @Iterations(100)
 */
class BenchmarkJson
{
    public function benchCatchValid(): bool
    {
        $validJson = '{"validJson":true}';
        try {
            json_decode($validJson, true, 512, JSON_THROW_ON_ERROR);
            return true;
        } catch(\JsonException $exception) {}
        return false;
    }

    public function benchCatchInvalid(): bool
    {
        $invalidJson = '{"invalidJson"';
        try {
            json_decode($invalidJson, true, 512, JSON_THROW_ON_ERROR);
            return true;
        } catch(\JsonException $exception) {}
        return false;
    }

    public function benchLastErrorValid(): bool
    {
        $validJson = '{"validJson":true}';
        json_decode($validJson, true);
        return (json_last_error() === JSON_ERROR_NONE);
    }

    public function benchLastErrorInvalid(): bool
    {
        $invalidJson = '{"invalidJson"';
        json_decode($invalidJson, true);
        return (json_last_error() === JSON_ERROR_NONE);
    }

    public function benchNullValid(): bool
    {
        $validJson = '{"validJson":true}';
        return (json_decode($validJson, true) !== null);
    }

    public function benchNullInvalid(): bool
    {
        $invalidJson = '{"invalidJson"';
        return (json_decode($invalidJson, true) !== null);
    }
}

结论:检查json是否有效的最快方法是返回json_decode($json, true) !== null)。
