A safe method to JSON.stringify a value, useful for debugging and logging purposes.

Remarks

Without modifications, JSON.stringify has several shortcomings in debugging and logging usage:

• throws when serializing anything containing a bigint
• Uint8Arrays are often encoded in base 10 with newlines between each index item
• functions and symbols are not clearly marked

This method is more helpful in these cases:

• bigint: 0n → <bigint: 0n>
• Uint8Array: Uint8Array.of(0,0) → <Uint8Array: 0x0000>
• function: (x) => x * 2 → <function: (x) => x * 2>
• symbol: Symbol(A) → <symbol: Symbol(A)>
