What am I looking at?
---------------------

[](#what-am-i-looking-at)

At first glance Kint is just a pretty replacement for **[var\_dump()](https://secure.php.net/function.var_dump)**, **[print\_r()](https://secure.php.net/function.print_r)** and **[debug\_backtrace()](https://secure.php.net/function.debug_backtrace)**.

However, it's much, *much* more than that. You will eventually wonder how you developed without it.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

One of the main goals of Kint is to be **zero setup**.

[Download the file](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kint-php/kint/master/build/kint.phar) and simply

```
