happy-json :smiley:

Check if your string or object is valid JSON, or could happily be valid JSON. :smiley:

This is not a strict JSON validator (although it sort of behaves like one). If you simply want strict JSON validation, then there are other modules out there. What this module does is check if your object or string is valid or could be valid JSON, because sometimes your application wants to know these things in order for it to be truly happy. :smiley:

Install

$ npm install --save happy-json

Usage

const happyAsJSON = require('happy-json');

// valid json objects
happyAsJSON({"happy": "json"});
//=> true

// valid json strings
happyAsJSON(JSON.stringify({happy: 'json'}));
//=> true

// objects that could [happily] be json
happyAsJSON({happy: 'json'});
//=> true

// rejects anything that isn't json
// or anything that couldn't be valid json
happyAsJSON('unicorns');
//=> false

Take a look at the tests for more usage examples.
