Description

We should have functions that just do validation of objects. We could make it an option whether to create validators, serializers/deserializers, or both.

Research direction
This feature request is vague and lacks detailed requirements. Start by reviewing quicktype's existing source code (especially the JavaScript language renderer under src/language/) to understand how types and converters are generated. Look for any open discussions or related issues that might clarify what validators should look like. Since the issue is from 2018 and has no recent activity, consider asking the maintainers for updated guidance on the desired output format and scope. A concrete first step could be to propose a design document outlining how object validators would integrate with the current pipeline.
