Is it possible to get the whole object from debugger as Json?
There is an option View text
but can I somehow View JSON
?
EDIT: as noted in the comments, this is not perfect, as for some variables you will get a "stackoverflow" response
As suggested by @Mr Han's answer, here's how you can do this:
Add a new way to view objects in IntelliJ debugger as JSON by:
java.lang.Object
for Apply renderer to objects of typeIf you have Gson
dependency in the classpath:
if (null == this || this instanceof String)
return this;
new com.google.gson.GsonBuilder().setPrettyPrinting().create().toJson(this);
or if you have Jackson
dependency in classpath:
if (null == this || this instanceof String)
return this;
new com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ObjectMapper().registerModule(new com.fasterxml.jackson.datatype.jsr310.JavaTimeModule()) .disable(com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.SerializationFeature.WRITE_DATES_AS_TIMESTAMPS).writerWithDefaultPrettyPrinter() .writeValueAsString(this);
Note: If you don't want to change the default behavior, create a "default" renderer also with "use default renderer" settings, and put it first in the list, it will use that as default and you can switch to JSON on demand by right click on debugged variable -> use renderer: JSON Renderer.
