I don't get it and am curious about why I'd use this over the try/catch approach.

Hi mate you shouldn’t be curious at all With this :) quick answer in the past JS engines like V8 had some perf issues with ops like try/catch and this lib uses part of the algorithm from Crockford to check if is a valid JSON, you don’t need this at all this days, hope this helps you and stay safe!
