## What it is
Dumpify is a .NET library that adds LinqPad-style `.Dump()` extension methods to console applications, rendering any object in a structured, colorful way. It supports nested objects, circular references, collections, member filtering, and multiple output targets including Console, Debug, Trace, and custom outputs.

## Use cases
- pretty-print objects to console while debugging a C# app
- dump nested object graphs with circular references
- inspect anonymous types and collections in console apps
- replace Debug.WriteLine with structured object output
- customize colors and table styling for console dumps
- send object dumps to Trace, Debug, or custom sinks

## When to avoid
- you need a GUI object inspector or debugger visualizer
- your project is not on the .NET platform
- you need production logging with log levels and sinks rather than debug dumping

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: logging, serialization, developer-tools
- domain: developer-tools
- platform: dotnet, cross-platform, cli
- tags: csharp, console-output, dump, linqpad, debugging, nuget, command-line
