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

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

Kint is a dumper in the vein of **[var\_dump()](https://www.php.net/function.var_dump)**, with keyboard controls, search, access path provision, and automatic data parsing.

In other words, when you dump a JSON string Kint will let you unfold and search the JSON structure and even provide you the code you need to access specific fields.

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

[](#installation)

```
composer require kint-php/kint --dev
```

### Without composer
