How to check if a string is a valid JSON string?

isJsonString('{ "Id": 1, "Name": "Coke" }')

should be true and

isJsonString('foo')
isJsonString('<div>foo</div>')

should be false.

I'm looking for a solution that doesn't use try/catch because I have my debugger set to "break on all errors" and that causes it to break on invalid JSON strings.
