serialize

serialize(obj: Any) → Any

Recursively expand an object into JSON-serializable primitives, by applying __serialize__() to objects that define it.

Similar in spirit to dataclasses.asdict(), but uses the library’s serialization protocol and preserves the “__type__” tag so the result can be round-tripped with object_hook/__deserialize__.

Returns

Any

A structure composed only of:

• dict[str, Any]

• list[Any]

• str/int/float/bool/None
