Object.inspect(obj) → String

• object (Object) – The item to be inspected.

Returns the debug-oriented string representation of the object.

• undefined and null are represented as such.
• Other types are looked up for a inspect method: if there is one, it is used, otherwise, it reverts to the toString method.

Prototype provides inspect methods for many types, both built-in and library-defined, such as in String#inspect, Array#inspect, Enumerable#inspect and Hash#inspect, which attempt to provide most-useful string representations (from a developer's standpoint) for their respective types.

Examples

Object.inspect();
// -> 'undefined'
 Object.inspect(null);
// -> 'null'
 Object.inspect(false);
// -> 'false'
 Object.inspect([1, 2, 3]);
// -> '[1, 2, 3]'
 Object.inspect('hello');
// -> "'hello'"
