You can get a dictionary representation copy of the Gitlab Object. Modifications made to

the dictionary will have no impact on the GitLab Object. This can also be used

to create a JSON representation of the object. There are two ways to retrieve a

dictionary representation of the Gitlab Object.

the dictionary will have no impact on the GitLab Object.

* `asdict()` method. Returns a dictionary representation of the Gitlab object.

* `attributes` property. Returns a dictionary representation of the Gitlab object.

You can get a JSON string represenation of the Gitlab Object. For example:

..code-block::python
