A lightweight iOS debugging library that automates logging of any variable type without format control symbols.
LxDBAnything is an iOS debugging library that automates the logging of any variable type without requiring format control symbols. It solves the problem of manual formatting in debug logs by providing macros that automatically box and display values in a readable format, supporting everything from primitive types to complex objects and view hierarchies.
iOS developers working with Objective-C who want to streamline their debugging workflow and reduce errors caused by incorrect format specifiers.
Developers choose LxDBAnything because it eliminates the tedious and error-prone process of matching format specifiers to variable types, providing a consistent, automatic logging experience that works with any data type out of the box.
Automate box any value! Print log without any format control symbol! Change debug habit thoroughly!

Automatically formats any variable type, from primitives like NSInteger to complex structs like CGRect and Core Foundation types, as shown in the extensive usage examples.
Eliminates the need for manual format control symbols like %@ or %d, reducing errors and making debugging faster, as highlighted in the project's philosophy.
Provides JSON and XML serialization for complex objects, allowing detailed inspection of object graphs, demonstrated with the TestModel output in the README.
Enables logging and visualization of entire view hierarchies, useful for UI debugging, with examples showing nested window structures.
The library is designed solely for Objective-C and lacks native Swift support, making it unsuitable for modern iOS projects without bridging complexities.
Based on the README logs from 2015 and no mention of recent updates, the project may not be actively maintained, raising compatibility concerns with newer iOS versions.
Installation requires dragging a header file to the project, which is less convenient than modern dependency managers and prone to setup errors compared to CocoaPods integration.
