Beautify NSLog of NSArray & NSDictionary


I'm dealing with deeply nested NSArray's and NSDictionary's and it's very time consuming to say the least. [data objectatindex:0] valueForKey:@"blah"] etc etc

Does anyone know of a nice iOS category to recursively log the structure, highlight the type and show the values?

Might be asking a bit much but you never know :)


Solution

  • Maybe like this?

    for (id key in dictionary) {
        NSLog(@"key: %@, value: %@ \n", key, [dictionary objectForKey:key]);
    }
    

    but i can't think of any nice way of getting the output beautiful except copy & paste it into a jsonFormatter (for example)

    EDIT: @Andrey Starodubtsev has the solution for XCode > 5.x below:

    NSLog( @"%@", dictionaryYouWantToPrint );
