Jul 15 19:45:50 <GodGinrai> chall: I've got a problem using JSON.parse, wondering if you might be able to help
Jul 15 19:59:58 <chall> GodGinrai, what's up?
Jul 15 20:00:30 <GodGinrai> well, I was trying to figure out how to detect if a string was just a string or if it was JSON before going into JSON.parse
Jul 15 20:00:38 <GodGinrai> because if you just pass a string, it freaks out
Jul 15 20:34:51 <chall> that's probably one of those places where you just have to try/catch it
Jul 15 20:35:09 <chall> I don't really know any good ways to validate that something is JSON without just parsing it to find out
Jul 15 20:35:24 <chall> it's probably faster to just try/catch it, performance wise
Jul 15 20:36:51 <GodGinrai> yea, I solved it with a try-catch
