How to get JSON output in Chrome Dev Tools console?

Question

is there a way to output a json in a nice way in the console? I just get "> Object" as the tree root and have to manually navigate through the tree which is annoying.

The best case would be to search for a string within that object. Alternatively expanding everything would be ok as well.

Any ideas?

(Was asked before in Is there a way in Chrome console to search for strings in console outputs, even those collapsed? but not answered)

Answer 1

Got this from Superuser:

If the right-click -> copy is not available you could try:

1 - Right-click the object and select "Store as global variable"

2 - The console will print the new variable's name, for example:

//temp1

3 - Type:

copy(temp1)

The object is now available in your clipboard.

Tested in chrome 36

I used this in Chrome 65 and worked great.

Answer 2

ATM your best option is to use JSON.stringify as explained here.

There is an DevTools Console API for Chrome extensions that allows to customize console output, but it's still experimental.
