cirq.obj_to_dict_helper

Construct a dictionary containing attributes from obj

cirq.obj_to_dict_helper(
    obj: Any, attribute_names: Iterable[str]
) -> Dict[str, Any]

This is useful as a helper function in objects implementing the SupportsJSON protocol, particularly in the _json_dict_ method.

In addition to keys and values specified by attribute_names, the returned dictionary has an additional key "cirq_type" whose value is the string name of the type of obj.

obj A python object with attributes to be placed in the dictionary.
attribute_names The names of attributes to serve as keys in the resultant dictionary. The values will be the attribute values.
