The following code can be adapted. The first edge of the first body in the tree is measured and the value is saved in a dictionary. This dictionary is then dumped to a json file.

import os
import io
import json
filePath = os.path.join(r"D:\Test","demo_export.json")
bodies = GetRootPart().GetAllBodies()
my_body = bodies[0]
my_edge = my_body.Edges[0]
my_length = my_edge.Shape.Length
my_dict = {
        "my edge length" : my_length
        }
with io.open(filePath, "w", encoding="utf8") as json_file:
                json.dump(my_dict, json_file, ensure_ascii=False)
