What is var_dump

var_dump is a work-in-progress chrome extension that will parse a var_dump out of the DOM and make it pretty! Also, Just FYI, we are now over on the chrome store: Here!.

Here's The Deal

Trying to read var_dumps is a lot like trying to read multiple lines of text without punctuation that wraps in a big block and makes you want to cry.

Actually, that is exactly what is it.

So here is a simple solution to this problem. Hope it works for you!
