AWS SQS FIFO event messageAttributes example?

Question

For AWS SQS FIFO queues, on AWS official documentation, I could not find any clear examples for the format of the messageAttributes object (which is a sub-object within the event object, aka the queue message event object).

Can anyone provide an example of the full SQS FIFO queue message event object? Thank you.

Example of SQS FIFO event object (in particular, the messsageAttributes object):

{
    "Records": [
        {
            "messageId": "11d6ee51-4cc7-4302-9e22-7cd8afdaadf5",
            "receiptHandle": "AQEBBX8nesZEXmkhsmZeyIE8iQAMig7qw...",
            "body": "Test message.",
            "attributes": {
                "ApproximateReceiveCount": "1",
                "SentTimestamp": "1573251510774",
                "SequenceNumber": "18849496460467696128",
                "MessageGroupId": "1",
                "SenderId": "AIDAIO23YVJENQZJOL4VO",
                "MessageDeduplicationId": "1",
                "ApproximateFirstReceiveTimestamp": "1573251510774"
            },
            "messageAttributes": {
                'myKey': {
                    'stringValue': 'myStringValue', 
                    'stringListValues': [], 
                    'binaryListValues': [], 
                    'dataType': 'String'
                }
            },
            "md5OfBody": "e4e68fb7bd0e697a0ae8f1bb342846b3",
            "eventSource": "aws:sqs",
            "eventSourceARN": "arn:aws:sqs:us-east-2:123456789012:fifo.fifo",
            "awsRegion": "us-east-2"
        }
    ]
}

This Q&A post is to provide an example output of the event object, to supplement the official documentation. I will also be making a pull request about this in due time.
