String(value) is now working for me. Readable.toReadable(null) returns a string now Nope, not sure what i was witnessing, but new String(value) is wrong too. String(value) is now working for me.

This is very handy. I'm starting to code thicker clients with javascript and I've been looking for cool debugging tools like this. Is it okay if I try merging this with jquery.debug? http://jquery.glyphix.com/ Also, I believe the first check for null and undefined in Readable.toReadable(value,options) should return a "new String(value)" and not "String(value)". Thanks Oliver. This is very handy.

This is a much needed tool that saved the day today and I'm sure on many future days. Good work! Now to spread the word. Thanks, Oliver.

In brief, JSON output is intended for consumption by computers and by libraries written in other languages, and Readable output is intended for humans. This has all sorts of repercussions such as whether RegExps, null, undefined, and NaN are represented; whether representations can be limited in length or depth, and so on. For a longer answer, see the bottom of the docs http://osteele.com/sources/javascript/docs/readable, where I've just added a list of differences. Good question.
