Does jQuery have a JSON/javascript object to HTML pretty print function similar to PHP's var_dump?

Question

Yes or no. If yes, what is it?

Thanks.

Take a look at this SO Post

Answer 2

jQuery does not (out of the box).

However, James Padolsey created this prettyPrint which I really like.

Also, if you're using Firebug or Web Inspector (or similar), you can just type the object into the console, press return, and see a tree-dump of the object. To force a tree-view, call console.dir(obj)
