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

function isJson($string) {

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

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。

在GuzzleHttp:

/**

 *
 * @param string $json    JSON data to parse
 * @param bool $assoc     When true, returned objects will be converted
 *                        into associative arrays.

 *
 * @return mixed

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(

如果有本地文件站。Json无效，缺失，或超过一个月，做一些事情。

if (!is_array(json_decode(@file_get_contents("stations.json"))) || time() > filemtime("stations.json") + (60*60*24*31)){
  // The json file is invalid, missing, or is more than 1 month old
  // Get a fresh version
} else {
  // Up to date
}
