我提出这一点是为了帮助那些需要实用的东西的人，给你一个漂亮的、美化的(缩进的)JS节点的图片。对于节点，没有其他解决方案适合我(“周期性错误”或其他什么…)。这将引导您遍历DOM Node下的树(不使用递归)，并为您提供深度、tagName(如果适用)和textContent(如果适用)。

在头节点下走过树时遇到的任何其他节点细节都可以根据自己的兴趣添加……

function printRNode( node ){
    // make sort of human-readable picture of the node... a bit like PHP print_r

    if( node === undefined || node === null ){
        throwError( 'node was ' + typeof node );
    }
    let s = '';

    // NB walkDOM could be made into a utility function which you could 
    // call with one or more callback functions as parameters...

    function walkDOM( headNode ){
      const stack = [ headNode ];
      const depthCountDowns = [ 1 ];
      while (stack.length > 0) {
        const node = stack.pop();
        const depth = depthCountDowns.length - 1;
        // TODO non-text, non-BR nodes could show more details (attributes, properties, etc.)
        const stringRep = node.nodeType === 3? 'TEXT: |' + node.nodeValue + '|' : 'tag: ' + node.tagName;
        s += '  '.repeat( depth ) + stringRep + '\n';
        const lastIndex = depthCountDowns.length - 1;
        depthCountDowns[ lastIndex ] = depthCountDowns[ lastIndex ] - 1;
        if( node.childNodes.length ){
            depthCountDowns.push( node.childNodes.length );
            stack.push( ... Array.from( node.childNodes ).reverse() );
        }
        while( depthCountDowns[ depthCountDowns.length - 1 ] === 0 ){
            depthCountDowns.splice( -1 );
        }
      }
    } 
    walkDOM( node );
    return s;
}

我写了这个JS函数dump()来像PHP的var_dump()一样工作。 要在警报窗口中显示变量的内容:dump(variable) 要在网页中显示变量的内容:dump(variable， 'body') 获取变量的字符串:dump(variable， 'none')

/* repeatString() returns a string which has been repeated a set number of times */
function repeatString(str, num) {
    out = '';
    for (var i = 0; i < num; i++) {
        out += str;
    }
    return out;
}

/*
dump() displays the contents of a variable like var_dump() does in PHP. dump() is
better than typeof, because it can distinguish between array, null and object.
Parameters:
    v:              The variable
    howDisplay:     "none", "body", "alert" (default)
    recursionLevel: Number of times the function has recursed when entering nested
                    objects or arrays. Each level of recursion adds extra space to the
                    output to indicate level. Set to 0 by default.
Return Value:
    A string of the variable's contents
Limitations:
    Can't pass an undefined variable to dump(). 
    dump() can't distinguish between int and float.
    dump() can't tell the original variable type of a member variable of an object.
    These limitations can't be fixed because these are *features* of JS. However, dump()
*/
function dump(v, howDisplay, recursionLevel) {
    howDisplay = (typeof howDisplay === 'undefined') ? "alert" : howDisplay;
    recursionLevel = (typeof recursionLevel !== 'number') ? 0 : recursionLevel;

    var vType = typeof v;
    var out = vType;

    switch (vType) {
        case "number":
        /* there is absolutely no way in JS to distinguish 2 from 2.0
           so 'number' is the best that you can do. The following doesn't work:
           var er = /^[0-9]+$/;
           if (!isNaN(v) && v % 1 === 0 && er.test(3.0)) {
               out = 'int';
           }
        */
        break;
    case "boolean":
        out += ": " + v;
        break;
    case "string":
        out += "(" + v.length + '): "' + v + '"';
        break;

        if (v === null) {
            out = "null";
        }
        //If using jQuery: if ($.isArray(v))
        //If using IE: if (isArray(v))
        //this should work for all browsers according to the ECMAScript standard:
        else if (Object.prototype.toString.call(v) === '[object Array]') {
            out = 'array(' + v.length + '): {\n';
            for (var i = 0; i < v.length; i++) {
                out += repeatString('   ', recursionLevel) + "   [" + i + "]:  " +
                    dump(v[i], "none", recursionLevel + 1) + "\n";

            let cnt = 0;
            for (var member in v) {
                //No way to know the original data type of member, since JS
                //always converts it to a string and no other way to parse objects.
                sContents += repeatString('   ', recursionLevel) + "   " + member +
                    ":  " + dump(v[member], "none", recursionLevel + 1) + "\n";
                cnt++;
            }
            sContents += repeatString('   ', recursionLevel) + "}";
            out += "(" + cnt + "): " + sContents;
        }
        break;
    default:
        out = v;
        break;
    }

    if (howDisplay == 'body') {
        var pre = document.createElement('pre');
        pre.innerHTML = out;
        document.body.appendChild(pre);
    }
    else if (howDisplay == 'alert') {
        alert(out);
    }

    return out;
}

Firebug。

然后，在javascript中:

var blah = {something: 'hi', another: 'noway'};
console.debug("Here is blah: %o", blah);

现在你可以查看控制台，点击语句，看看里面有什么

大多数现代浏览器在开发人员工具中都有一个控制台，这对这种调试很有用。

console.log(myvar);

然后你将在控制台中得到对象/任何东西的良好映射接口。

查看控制台文档了解更多详细信息。

将JSON响应解析为HTML的一个很好的简单解决方案。

var json_response = jQuery.parseJSON(data);
html_response += 'JSON Response:<br />';

jQuery.each(json_response, function(k, v) {
    html_response += outputJSONReponse(k, v);
});

function outputJSONReponse(k, v) {
    var html_response = k + ': ';

    if(jQuery.isArray(v) || jQuery.isPlainObject(v)) {
        jQuery.each(v, function(j, w) {
            html_response += outputJSONReponse(j, w);
        });
    } else {
        html_response += v + '<br />';
    }

    return html_response;
}

正如其他人已经提到的，调试变量的最好方法是使用现代浏览器的开发控制台(例如Chrome开发工具，Firefox+Firebug, Opera Dragonfly(现在在新的基于Chrome的(Blink) Opera中消失了，但正如开发人员所说，“蜻蜓没有死，尽管我们还不能给你更多信息”)。

但如果你需要另一种方法，有一个非常有用的网站叫 php.js:

http://phpjs.org/

它提供了“PHP函数的JavaScript替代品”——所以你可以像在PHP中一样使用它们。我将在这里复制粘贴适当的函数给你，但请注意，这些代码可以在原始网站上更新，以防检测到一些错误，所以我建议你访问phpjs.org网站!(顺便说一句。我不是这个网站的会员，但我觉得它非常有用。)

  //        note: If browsers start to support DOM Level 3 Load and Save (parsing/serializing),
  //        note: we wouldn't need any such long code (even most of the code below). See
  //        note: link below for a cross-browser implementation in JavaScript. HTML5 might
  //        note: possibly support DOMParser, but that is not presently a standard.
  //        note: Although innerHTML is widely used and may become standard as of HTML5, it is also not ideal for
  //        note: use with a temporary holder before appending to the DOM (as is our last resort below),
  //        note: since it may not work in an XML context
  //        note: Using innerHTML to directly add to the BODY is very dangerous because it will
  //        note: break all pre-existing references to HTMLElements.
  //   example 1: echo('<div><p>abc</p><p>abc</p></div>');
  //   returns 1: undefined
