I'm absolutely sure that all of you are working with JSON objects. It's pretty helpful to be able to print them and find out what exactly they contain. I wrote a simple function that makes this possible.

Here is the JSON object that we are going to use and the calling of the print method:

Other useful way to see Json objects is Charles proxy. You can see the hold tree, collapse nodes, etc

@xleon: This program looks interesting, but how can we use it together with action script. I mean if I have a json object in a variable in flash.

Anyway thanks for the link. Have to check it. I'm using Tamper data (add-on for Firefox) for the same purpose - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/966/

As far as I can see we can use this little program as a cheating tool :)

That?s right!! I mostly use it for flash remoting debug (amf), but you can "save" whatever goes through http (images, flv videos, etc, etc)
