How to verify if value is a JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) value using the JSON_VALID() function?

JSON_VALID(val) is a MySQL built-in function that returns 1 if the given value is a valid JSON value. For example:

SELECT JSON_VALID('hello'), JSON_VALID('"hello"');
  -- +---------------------+-----------------------+
  -- | JSON_VALID('hello') | JSON_VALID('"hello"') |
  -- +---------------------+-----------------------+
  -- |                   0 |                     1 |
  -- +---------------------+-----------------------+

SELECT JSON_VALID('123'), JSON_VALID('"123"');
  -- +-------------------+---------------------+
  -- | JSON_VALID('123') | JSON_VALID('"123"') |
  -- +-------------------+---------------------+
  -- |                 1 |                   1 |
  -- +-------------------+---------------------+

SELECT JSON_VALID('{"a": 1}'), JSON_VALID('(1,2,3)');
  -- +------------------------+-----------------------+
  -- | JSON_VALID('{"a": 1}') | JSON_VALID('(1,2,3)') |
  -- +------------------------+-----------------------+
  -- |                      1 |                     0 |
  -- +------------------------+-----------------------+
