Question

WebKit/Safari supports the console object, which is similar to what Firebug does. But what exactly is supported? There is a console documentation for Firebug, but where can I find the console documentation for Safari/WebKit?

Answer 1

Supported methods were originally:

• console.log()
• console.error()
• console.warn()
• console.info()

Newer versions of WebKit also add the following methods making the WebKit console API almost identical to Firebug’s console API:

• console.count()
• console.debug()
• console.profileEnd()
• console.trace()
• console.dir()
• console.dirxml()
• console.assert()
• console.time()
• console.profile()
• console.timeEnd()
• console.group()
• console.groupEnd()

(New information based on the WebKit nightly build WebKit-SVN-r37126, at the time of writing these methods aren’t available in Safari)
