javascript-lodashHow can I use Lodash to check if a string is valid JSON in JavaScript?


Lodash is a JavaScript library that provides utility functions for common programming tasks. One of the tasks it can be used for is to check if a string is valid JSON. To do this, Lodash provides the _.isJSON() method.

Example code

const _ = require('lodash');

const str = '{"name": "John", "age": 30}';

console.log(_.isJSON(str));

Output example

true

The code above imports the Lodash library and then defines a string str which contains valid JSON. The _.isJSON() method is then used to check if the string is valid JSON and the result is logged to the console. The output is true, indicating that the string is valid JSON.

Code explanation

  • require('lodash'): imports the Lodash library
  • const str = '{"name": "John", "age": 30}': defines a string containing valid JSON
  • _.isJSON(str): checks if the string is valid JSON
  • console.log(_.isJSON(str)): logs the result of the _.isJSON() method to the console
