Checks if the provided argument is a valid JSON.

Use JSON.parse() and a try... catch block to check if the provided argument is a valid JSON.

const isValidJSON = obj => {
  try {
    JSON.parse(obj);
    if (o && typeof o === "object") {
            return true;
        }
} catch (e) {
    return false;
  }
};

isValidJSON('{"name":"Adam","age":20}'); // true
isValidJSON('{"name":"Adam",age:"20"}'); // false
