这就是我的建议

if (!in_array(substr($string, 0, 1), ['{', '[']) || !in_array(substr($string, -1), ['}', ']'])) {
  return false;
} else {
  json_decode($string);
  return (json_last_error() === JSON_ERROR_NONE);
}

function isJson($string) {
   json_decode($string);
   return json_last_error() === JSON_ERROR_NONE;
}

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.

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;
}

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;
}

function is_json($input) {

    $input = trim($input);

    if (substr($input,0,1)!='{' OR substr($input,-1,1)!='}')
        return false;

    return is_array(@json_decode($input, true));
}

//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;
}

嗨，这是我的库中的一个小片段，在第一个条件下，我只是检查数据是否为json，然后返回它，如果正确解码，请注意substr的使用性能(我还没有看到任何json文件不以{或[开始

$input=trim($input);
if ((substr($input, 0, 1) == '{' && substr($input, -1) == '}') or (substr($input, 0, 1) == '[' && substr($input, -1) == ']')) {
    $output = json_decode($input, 1);
    if (in_array(gettype($output),['object','array'])) {
        #then it's definitely JSON
    }
}
