In particular it offers a static method `Zend\Debug\Debug::dump()` that prints or returns information about an expression. This simple technique of debugging is common because it is easy to use in an ad hoc fashion and requires no initialization, special tools, or debugging environment. - File issues at - Documentation is at ### Health Score 48 — FairBetter than 95% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity51 Moderate usage in the ecosystem Community41 Growing community involvement Maturity72 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 73.1% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
