Gets the given attribute or property of the element.

        This method will first try to return the value of a property with the
        given name. If a property with that name doesn't exist, it returns the
        value of the attribute with the same name. If there's no attribute with
        that name, ``None`` is returned.

        Values which are considered truthy, that is equals "true" or "false",
        are returned as booleans.  All other non-``None`` values are returned
        as strings.  For attributes or properties which do not exist, ``None``
        is returned.

        :Args:
            - name - Name of the attribute/property to retrieve.

        Example::

            # Check if the "active" CSS class is applied to an element.
            is_active = "active" in target_element.get_attribute("class")
