Determine whether a string contains valid javascript code

Question

I'm looking for a C# function which returns true if a string contains valid javascript syntax.

For instance:

IsValidJavascript("alert('hello');");

would return true, but

IsValidJavascript("alertXXhelloZ);");

would return false.

Well run it through interpreter. – Kugel Jan 03 '13 at 09:08 — Kugel, Jan 03 '13 at 09:08

You'll need to use an interpreter.
You can try Jint which is a Javascript interpreter for .NET.

nice solution which does not seem to force the client to actually "execute" the js code to validate, +1 – Frederik.L Jan 03 '13 at 09:16
