Looks like JSON: Regex vs indexOf (v2)

Revision 2 of this benchmark created by Kyle A. Matheny on

Description

I want a simple check for JSON-likely strings, so i just check for curly braces at the beginning and end of string.

*Updated to use a variable for str.length

Preparation HTML

<script>
  var str = '{"remark":"Done it today","destination":"2727273232","associated_id":19202,"associated_type":"Thingy"}',
      strLen = str.length - 1;
</script>
