Is JSON
Determines whether a given text conforms to a valid JSON format. Ensuring valid JSON formatting is critical for seamless data interoperability, as incorrect structures can lead to parsing errors and system failures.
Evaluation Using Interface
Input:
- Required Inputs:
- text: The input content column to be evaluated.
Output:
- Result: Passed / Failed
Interpretation:
- Passed: Indicates that the content in the
text
column is valid JSON format. - Failed: Signifies that the content in the
text
column is not valid JSON (e.g., syntax errors, missing brackets, improper structure).

Input Type | Parameter | Type | Description |
---|---|---|---|
Required Inputs | text | string | The input content to be evaluated. |
Output | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
Result | bool | Returns 1.0 if the content is valid JSON (Pass), 0.0 otherwise (Fail). |
What to do when JSON Validation Fails
Identify common structural problems, such as missing commas, misplaced brackets, or incorrect key-value formatting, should be corrected accordingly.
To prevent future errors, implementing automated checks within the system can help detect and resolve formatting issues before processing.
Differentiating Between Is JSON Eval with JSON Schema Validation
“Is JSON” evaluation focuses solely on structural validity, ensuring that data follows basic JSON syntax, such as correct use of brackets, commas, and quotes. In contrast, JSON Schema Validation goes beyond syntax by checking adherence to predefined schema rules, including data types, required fields, and value constraints.
The “Is JSON” check is simpler, as it only requires parsing the data, whereas JSON Schema Validation is more complex, involving validation against a structured schema.
