.. py:function:: ak.parameters(array)

   Returns the parameters dict of the outermost layout node.

   Parameters are a dict from str to JSON-like objects, usually strings.
   Every :py:obj:`ak.contents.Content` node has a different set of parameters. Some
   key names are special, such as ``"__record__"`` and ``"__array__"`` that name
   particular records and arrays as capable of supporting special behaviors.

   See :py:obj:`ak.Array` and :py:obj:`ak.behavior` for a more complete description of
   behaviors.

   :param array: Array-like data (anything :py:obj:`ak.to_layout` recognizes).

   :returns: The parameters dict of the outermost node of ``array`` (many types
             supported, including all Awkward Arrays and Records).
