Summary

This aspect change the descriptions of some foundation objects to print correctly in ASL (Apple System Logger):

• Print unicodified string values.
• Correct the indentation of collection objects for multiple levels.
• Customizable indentation. Default is a tab.
• Elements in collection objects are more JSON-like.
  • Key-value pairs are separated by colon (:), not equal sign (=).
  • Elements are separated by comma (,), not semicolon (;).
  • NSNull in collection objects are showing null, not <null>.

Description

There is a problem if you want to log some NSFoundation objects in ASL (Apple System Logger). For example, if your dictionary containing Unicode strings:

NSDictionary *dict = @{@"如果你不愛我":@"我會讓你走",
                       @"如果你真心愛我":@"我會讓你擁有全世界"};
NSLog(@"dict: %@", dict);

the results in the Xcode console would be:

{
    "\U5982\U679c\U4f60\U4e0d\U611b\U6211" = "\U6211\U6703\U8b93\U4f60\U8d70";
    "\U5982\U679c\U4f60\U771f\U5fc3\U611b\U6211" = "\U6211\U6703\U8b93\U4f60\U64c1\U6709\U5168\U4e16\U754c";
}

With this aspect patch, the string objects will be embraced by "" and be printed correctly using Unicode:

{
    "如果你真心愛我" : "我會讓你擁有全世界",
    "如果你不愛我" : "我會讓你走"
}
