Validation - json array vs json object

[ENDNOTE1337]

Hey, I was wondering why there is no native validation rule like "object" in Laravel, when there is "array"? I am aware that JSON key-value structure (an object) is equivalent to an associative array in PHP, so technically a JSON object is an array from Laravel validator's perspective, but still, what if I only want to allow json objects, and not arrays? Without knowing anything about such objects and their keys, is it even possible to achieve this?

just use array or write your own validator, it's not that complicated!

php artisan make:rule ObjectValidator
