To help with development and debugging, is it possible to dump the content of an object for inspection?

For example, I would like to see the contents of a result from a FetchXML query.

Hi, if you are on using Liquid/HTML, you can "dump" your content in a hidden <div> or something, so you can still see in the console, but won't be visible in the page

if you are using JavaScript, you can use the console.log(""); function to log anything you need

hope this helps

Im looking to display the contents of an object, like entities, so that I see all the properties and values in one view, like a console.log() with a js object.

can you share your code? if the entity object is coming from JS/WebAPI, then you can use console.log()

if you are using Liquid to get the entity object, you are probably better off doing the hidden elements on the page
