Answer 1

You can use 'json_encode()'.
Example;
$myArray = array("datetime" => "2022-07-19 12:04:03", "receiptNumber" => "4010", "isRefund" => 0, "amount" => 1025);
Output;
[
"datetime" => "2022-07-19 12:04:03",
"receiptNumber" => "4010",
"isRefund" => 0,
"amount" => 1025,
]
Than if you use json_encode like this;
$myArray = json_encode($myArray);
Output;
{
[
"datetime" => "2022-07-19 12:04:03",
"receiptNumber" => "4010",
"isRefund" => 0,
"amount" => 1025,
]
}

You need to use
Validator::make($sdsa, [
'datetime' => 'required|date_format:Y-m-d H:i:s',
'amount' => 'required|numeric',
'isRefund' => 'required|integer|between:0,1',
'receiptNumber' => 'required|string',
])->validate()
