A Ruby library that pretty prints Ruby objects in full color with proper indentation, exposing their internal structure. It supports Rails ActiveRecord objects and usage within Rails templates via included mixins.

Use cases

  • pretty print ruby objects in the console
  • inspect nested hashes and arrays with color
  • debug ActiveRecord objects in Rails
  • format object output in irb or pry
  • read complex data structures with proper indentation

When to choose

  • you need readable, colorized output of Ruby objects during debugging
  • you work in irb/pry and want better object inspection
  • you want to visualize nested data structures in Ruby

When to avoid

  • you need machine-readable serialization like JSON or YAML
  • you are not working in Ruby
  • you need a debugger with breakpoints rather than output formatting
