I'm forced to work with the inhumane Authorize.net Ruby SDK for work.
The response I'm getting back from my request @response.transactionResponse when entered into the console yields the following unforgivable mess:

I often use the awesome_print gem or something simlar to format data structures but it has no effect here.
Is there any parsing lib/algorithm that can take was looks like an internal dump format from ruby and display it in some kind of humane/human format?
I'm forced to read the source code for any idea of the interfaces of these classes, so some formatting would be a god send.
Please... my eyes are bleeding.
You can use pretty_inspect from stdlib pretty print(require 'pp') instead of regular inspect, that adds some formatting.
Classes from AuthorizeNet are huge and no formatting is the silver bullet. A more aggressive way is to monkeypatch inspect method for those to output only fields that are of interest to you
