Object Transformation

Objectron transforms Python objects into proxy objects that enable monitoring and enhanced functionality while maintaining the original interface.

Proxy System

The proxy system provides:

• Transparent attribute access
• Method call interception
• Reference tracking
• Dynamic attribute creation

Type Support

Objectron includes specialized proxies for:

• Dictionaries (DictProxy)
• Lists (ListProxy)
• Numbers (IntProxy, FloatProxy)
• Strings (StrProxy)
• Tuples (TupleProxy)
• Sets (SetProxy)
• Custom objects (DynamicProxy)

Reference Management

The DeepObjectReplacer handles:

• Global reference tracking
• Circular reference detection
• Safe reference updates
• Thread-safe operations

Dynamic Access Patterns

Two main access patterns:

1. Attribute-style: config.database.host
2. Path-based: config["database.host"]
