How to get (parse) this JSON in Laravel?

Now I get POST data in JSON format like:

if ($request->filled('Countries')) {
    dd($request->Countries);
}

Where $request->Countries is array is sent from client:

"Countries": [2,15]

What if I want to send the following JSON format:

{
   "places": [{"country": 1, "city": 1}, {"country": 1, "city": 2}]
}

How to get this data using request in Laravel and handle it?

just a tip. request()->input() method accepts dot notation which allows you to have unlimited nests. If you want to create a new request from a nested level of your request you could just

$r = $request->input('places');
$requests[] = new Illuminate\Http\Request($r);

For validation nested elements in JSON/Array must have to use this sintax:

$v = Validator::make($request->all(), [
  'person.*.id' => 'exists:users.id',
  'person.*.name' => 'required:string',
]);

For JSON object:

{"person": {"id": 1, "name": "OOO"}}

use json_decode($json, true) to parse it to a PHP array: 

$parsed_array = json_decode($data, true);
