I like the look of ds.to_dict(data=False). I'm pretty sure this topic has come up before -- there is definitely value in having a standard way to express the schema of xarray.Dataset objects.

ds.info(format='json') is another option, though a slightly weird feature of ds.info() is that it writes to a buffer rather than returning an object. This is because otherwise you get quotes for a string around the result when you type this at the command line.
