First off, unless you have a very good reason not to, you know the differences, and you know what you are doing, always use the "read" functions from clojure.edn rather than from clojure.core.
When you say "bad data", is it malformed (as in not valid EDN) or is it not conforming to the expected schema? If the former, you can either rely on the error reporting of clojure.edn/read-string, or (if you only need to parse a very limited subset of EDN) write your own parser that reports errors in a more suitable way for your use-case. Should you decide to go that way, you may want to look into instaparse. I would advise against going that way, though, but it's hard to know with the level of details you have provided about what tou are actually trying to achieve. If you get valid EDN but not the expected content, there are plenty of "validation" libraries that may be used for the task; two that directly come to mind are prismatic schema and validateur (slightly different use-cases, but, again, you have not really explained what you are trying to accomplish). If it is well formed and follows the expected schema, I am not sure how you can detect that it is not right. Maybe more unit tests?
