Pretty dump variable/object in Symfony 2.*?

When developing stuff I need to output the state of some instance in order to inspect it.

While using CakePHP I always had a debug() function which does some kind of var_dump inside a <pre> html element, so the content is readable.

Is something similar in Symfony 2.x too?

As of today, one of the best ways to debug in Symfony that I know of is the Ladybug Bundle. Its output is similar to xdebug's, but it has some nice features, like a collapsible tree structure for arays or automatically linking to documentation pages (supporting standard PHP, Doctrine and Symfony).

You can find some great examples of its use on the README.
