Question

I would like to find a way to explore Array objects in the chrome console (and even other console like firebug), as we can easily do for other objects.

Below is the snippet I entered in the chrome console :

var str = new String("foo"); str;
var bool = new Boolean(true); bool;
["foo", "bar", str, bool, {}];

And the results in the chrome console :

The only way I could find at the moment is kind of a hack :

[["foo", "bar", str, bool, {}]];

Is there any option, command or method to just show the inner structure of the array object as it is done by default for other objects?
