Copy an object from the webkit inspector as code

I am doing a console.log statement in my javascript in order to log a javascript object. Is there a way, once that's done - to copy that object as javascript code?

What I'm trying to do is convert an object that was created using ajax to parse an xml feed into a static javascript object so that a file can run locally, without a server. I've included a screenshot of the object in the chrome inspector window so you can see what I'm trying to do.

1. Right-click an object in Chrome's console and select Store as Global Variable from the context menu. It will return something like temp1 as the variable name.

2. Chrome also has a copy() method, so copy(temp1) in the console should copy that object to your clipboard.

Note on Recursive Objects: If you're trying to copy a recursive object, you will get [object Object]. The way out is to try copy(JSON.stringify(temp1)) , the object will be fully copied to your clipboard as a valid JSON, so you'd be able to format it as you wish, using one of many resources.

If you get the Uncaught TypeError: Converting circular structure to JSON message, you can use JSON.stringify's second argument (which is a filter function) to filter out the offending circular properties. See this Stack Overflow answer for more details.
