    """Convert an Ax object to a JSON-serializable dictionary.

    The root node passed to this function should always be an instance of a
    core Ax class or a JSON-compatible python builtin. The sub-fields of the
    input will then be recursively passed to this function.

    e.g. if we pass an instance of Experiment, we will first fall through
    to the line `object_dict = ENCODER_REGISTRY[_type](object)`, which
    will convert the Experiment to a (shallow) dictionary, where search
    subfield remains "unconverted", i.e.:
    {"name": <name: string>, "search_space": <search space: SearchSpace>}.
    We then pass each item of the dictionary back into this function to
    recursively convert the entire object.
