def skim_get_data(
    df_in: pd.DataFrame | pl.DataFrame,
) -> JSON | str:
    """Skim a pandas or polars dataframe and return summary statistics as a dictionary, and without printing to the console.

    skim is an alternative to pandas.DataFrame.describe(), quickly providing
    an overview of a data frame via a table of summary statistics. It produces a different set of summary
    functions based on the types of columns in the dataframe. You may get
    better results from ensuring that you set the datatypes in your dataframe

    Note that any unknown column types, or mixed column types, will not be

    Args:
        df_in (pd.DataFrame | pl.DataFrame): Dataframe to get summary statistics on.

    Returns:
