Use `request.get_json(silent=True)` and validate that the parsed value is a JSON object before calling `.get()`. A robust pattern is: ```python def _get_json_object(): data = request.get_json(silent=True) if not isinstance(data, dict): return None return data ``` Then in each handler: ```python data = _get_json_object() if data is None: return jsonify({"error": "Request body must be a JSON object"}), 400 ``` Checking `isinstance(data, dict)` is better than `if not data` because `{}` is still a valid JSON object. For `POST /users`, an empty object should usually fall through to the existing `name and email are required` validation. For settings updates, `{}` can validly use default values if that is the endpoint's intended behavior.

Use `request.get_json(silent=True)` and validate the parsed payload is a dict before reading keys. If payload is missing/invalid, return `400` with a clear error like `Request body must be valid JSON`. This prevents server errors and turns malformed client input into a proper client error response.
