PCo-Kint is a simple WordPress plugin wrapper for <a href="https://github.com/raveren/kint/" rel="nofollow ugc">kint</a>, a pretty replacement for <a href="http://php.net/manual/en/function.var-dump.php" rel="nofollow ugc">var_dump()</a>, <a href="http://php.net/manual/en/function.print-r.php]" rel="nofollow ugc">print_r()</a> and <a href="http://php.net/manual/en/function.debug-backtrace.php]" rel="nofollow ugc">debug_backtrace()</a>. Kint is also a great replacement to Krumo!
Simply use the <code>d()</code> function to output your objects or arrays, or use <code>ddd()</code> if you want to terminate the current script.
A great alternative to <code>echo'<pre>';var_dump($var);die;</code>!
