Previously, the validator only accepted []any for JSON arrays and
map[string]any for JSON objects. Go values like []string or
[]map[string]interface{} were rejected with 'invalid jsonType'
errors, even though they represent valid JSON arrays and objects.
Use reflect as a fallback in typeOf() to detect slices, arrays,
and string-keyed maps. Convert them to []any / map[string]any
before passing to arrValidate / objValidate.

Fixes #238
Problem
The validator only accepts

Fix
Use
reflectas a fallback intypeOf()to detect:When validation needs to iterate over these values (in
arrValidate/objValidateandunevalFrom), the typed collections are converted to[]any/map[string]anyfirst.Testing
All existing tests pass. Manually verified:
