Dumb JS object debugging in NodeJS

gistfile1.js

var util = require('util'),
  fs =require('fs');

// Print a nested object to the console for full inspection
console.log(util.inspect(data, showHidden=false, depth=16, colorize=true));

// Print a thing to a file
fs.writeFile('debug.txt', aThing, function(err) {
    if (err) console.log('Write error for some reason!');
});
