# pandas.api.types.is_dict_like

pandas.api.types.is_dict_like(obj)

  Check if the object is dict-like.

  An object is considered dict-like if it has the `__getitem__`, `keys`, and `__contains__` attributes but is not a type itself.

  Parameters:
    obj object

      The object to check. This can be any Python object, and the function will determine whether it behaves like a dictionary.

  Returns:
    bool

      Whether obj has dict-like properties.
