# Type: Object

> Checks that the value is of type object.

Checks whether the incoming value is an object: a block of named fields, such as a product with a `sku`, `name`, and `price`, rather than a plain list of values. Use this wherever a step needs to confirm it is working with a structured record before reaching into its fields. A value matches when it is a set of key and value pairs, like `{ "sku": "A1", "name": "Blue T-shirt" }`. A plain list of values, such as `["red", "green", "blue"]`, does not match, since it has no field names. This condition has no settings: it looks at whatever value it is given and reports whether that value is an object.

This documentation describes: [Schema](/schemas/condition/type-object)

## Fields

This condition has no settings of its own.

## Sample data

This checks each entity's `value` field.

| Incoming value                             | Result         |
| ------------------------------------------ | -------------- |
| `{ "sku": "A1", "qty": 2 }` (named fields) | Matches        |
| `[]` (an empty value)                      | Matches        |
| `["a", "b", "c"]` (a plain list)           | Does not match |
| `42` (a number)                            | Does not match |
| `"hello"` (text)                           | Does not match |
| `null` (no value)                          | Does not match |

One thing to watch: a completely empty value is also treated as an object and matches, because there are no list entries to tell the two apart. If you specifically need a plain list, use the [Type: Array](/references/condition/type-array) check with its Strict setting turned on.
