R# is reporting JSON structures with an array as the root element as invalid: "JSON validation failed: Expression must be of type 'object'."

Example:

[
  {
    "prop1": "",
    "prop2": "",
    "prop3": ""
  }
]

Is there a reason why R# considers an array as the root object of a JSON structure as invalid?
