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,
- Tony
