Apex
An Elixir library that pretty prints data structures with full color, proper indentation, and internal structure exposure.
What is Apex?
Apex is an Elixir library for pretty printing Elixir data structures with full color and proper indentation, exposing their internal structure. It ports part of Ruby's awesome_print gem functionality to make debugging and data inspection more readable and developer-friendly.
Elixir developers who need to inspect and debug complex data structures in their applications, particularly those working in interactive environments like IEx.
Developers choose Apex for its visually clear, colorful output that enhances readability during debugging, its extensibility via the Apex.Format protocol for custom types, and its additional features like the adef macro for function tracing.
