Krumo is a debugging tool equivalent to print_r() and var_dump(), with the advantage of collapsing array and object values so that it takes less space and let us see only what we really need from complex data.
<a href="http://hikari.ws/krumo/" rel="nofollow ugc">Hikari Krumo</a> ports it to a WordPress plugin, so that Krumo becomes easily available in any WordPress page. Original Krumo has a few bugs fixed and has its options available in an admin page instead of requiring krumo.ini file edited directly.
