Returns a structured representation of the specified value that can be rendered to a human readable format.
Render the specified value to a String using the Simple renderer.
Debugis an abstraction that describes the ability to render a value of typeAto a human readable format for debugging purposes.Debugcaptures this information in a structured data format called aRepr, or a "representation" of the data. This representation can then be rendered to a human readable format using aRenderer, which knows how to render a representation to a specific human readable format. This two step process preserves information when creating the representation and allows rendering it in different ways. For example, we might want to render it as a simple string representation using theSimplerenderer or as valid Scala code that we could paste into a REPL with theScalarenderer.You can use
Reprto create structured representations of your own data types and even implement your ownRenderer, for example to render representations to JSON, though in most cases the built in renderers will be all that you need.
