json()	Return a dictionary representation of the key attributes of this object that is safe to output to JSON

abstract as_dict()

Return a dictionary representation of the key attributes of this object.

Return type:

dict[str, Any]

The results of this function are used to produce the following:

• A JSON representation of the object when calling json()

• The string representation of the object when calling str() on the object

• The representation of the object when calling repr() on the object

json()

Return a dictionary representation of the key attributes of this object that is safe to output to JSON

Return type:

dict[str, str | int | float | list | dict | bool | None]

class musify.printer.AttributePrinter
