Laravel data_get helper has different behavior for array and object

$array = ['key' => null];

echo data_get($array, 'key', 'default') // Result was default
$array = (object) $array;
echo data_get($array, 'key', 'default') // Result was null

Is there any specific reason it was done like this or arrays and objects?

Laravel doc ref they mentioned like this data_get function retrieves a value from a nested array or object using "dot" notation: So it should be same behavior for both array and object

If you check source of data_get(), you'll notice

if (Arr::accessible($target) && Arr::exists($target, $segment)) {
    $target = $target[$segment];
} elseif (is_object($target) && isset($target->{$segment})) {
    $target = $target->{$segment};
} else {
    return value($default);
}

and isset($target->{$segment}) which returns false for null and hence returns the default value for object which has null value for the searched key.
