It sounds like you're trying to do something like this:
NSString *s = @" … JSON here …";
BOOL valid = [NSJSONSerialization isValidJSONObject:s];
Which will return 0. Because an NSString by itself is not valid JSON (unless reading using the allow fragments option). The purpose of isValidJSONObject: is to take a Foundation object graph (e.g., NSDictionary objects, NSArray objects, etc) and see if it will work when given to the dataWithJSONObject:options:error: method.
If I'm misunderstanding what you're asking, please post a more complete code sample.
Thanks,
