JSON_VALID

Syntax

JSON_VALID(value)

Description

Indicates whether the given value is a valid JSON document or not. Returns 1 if valid, 0 if not, and NULL if the argument is NULL.

From MariaDB 10.4.3, the JSON_VALID function is automatically used as a CHECK constraint for the JSON data type alias in order to ensure that a valid json document is inserted.

Examples

SELECT JSON_VALID('{"id": 1, "name": "Monty"}');
+------------------------------------------+
| JSON_VALID('{"id": 1, "name": "Monty"}') |
+------------------------------------------+
|                                        1 |
+------------------------------------------+

SELECT JSON_VALID('{"id": 1, "name": "Monty", "oddfield"}');
+------------------------------------------------------+
| JSON_VALID('{"id": 1, "name": "Monty", "oddfield"}') |
+------------------------------------------------------+
|                                                    0 |
