Console : Printing objects with more details

Hi everyone, I started scripting for after effects 3 days ago and I came across tons of disappointments.

I think the $.write() and $.writeln methods don't do enough. (I'm used to console.log in web development). My biggest problem right now is that if you log an object, it'll only output [object Object].

I'm trying to print the full object with all its properties and sub/sub_sub... objects.

Question #1: Am I missing something? Is there an easy way to do this?

Question #2: if #1's answer is no, do you guys have an idea why I can't print the properties of the sub-objects using this method. (I recommend you guys try it)

var testObj = {    property_string : "string",    property_int : 999,    property_arr : ["test",1],    property_obj : {        sub_property_string : "hello"    }
};




objLog(testObj);


   function objLog(object){        var log = object.toString() + " {";        var line;        for (var property in object) {            line = "\r" + tabsString(1) + property.toString() + " : " + object[property].toString();            log += line;            objLoop(property,object);        }        log += "\r }"        $.writeln(log);        /*        * Creates Tabs for the formatting        * */        function tabsString(amount){            var string = "";            for(var i = 0; i < amount; i++){                string += "    ";            }            return string;        };        /*        * Should be an infinite-able recursive loop to always print the properties of any object at any level.        * */        function objLoop(prop,obj){            var subObject =  obj[prop].toString();            if(subObject.indexOf("[object Object]") !== -1){                line = "{\r"                log += line;                 for (var subProperty in subObject){                     /*                     * Can't get anything to work in this part.                     * Any object contained in an object won't print it's properties                     * */                     line = tabsString(2) + "*Should be printing propeties here*"                     log += line;                     line = subProperty  + "\r" + subObject.toString() + " \r";                     line = "\r" + tabsString(2) + subProperty.toString() + " : " + subObject[subProperty].toString();                     log += line;                 }                log += "\r" + tabsString(2) + "}"            }        };    }

Currently, this will output the following in the javascript console:

[object Object] {    property_string : string    property_int : 999    property_arr : test,1    property_obj : [object Object]{        *Should be printing propeties here*        toJSON :
function () {                    return this.valueOf();                }        }
}

I'm really confused on why it prints

"toJson : function(){ return this.valueOf(); }"

instead of

sub_property_string : hello

Anyway, I hope you guys have better ways than me to print lots of information in the console because I really feel like a newbie.

Thanks a lot!
