Is it possible to "copy" a object from browser console and analyze it?

On a Website with a browser game im logging an object to the console. I can inspect the object, but what i would like to do, if possible, is export or save this object to or into a custom script in order to loop over this object to analyze several proberties of it.

If this is not possible, is it possible to locally alter the JavaScript file my browser is getting from the server so i could replace the console.log() part locally ?

Because you don't have access to the logger script,
you will have to override the console.log function, before your script does log your object.

(function(){
    //save the original function
    var originalConsoleLog = console.log;

    //override the original console.log
    console.log = function() {
        originalConsoleLog.apply(console, arguments);
        // here you can call your own checking function
        yourCheck(arguments);
    }
})();

Now each time an object will be logged to the console, yourCheck will be called, with the logged arguments, so you may want to add some sanity check in your own function to be sure you catched the good one.

Serialize it as JSON:

JSON.stringify(obj);

Deserialize it using:

JSON.parse(obj);

Hi if it is from the server..? so as i have practiced i will give a suggestion to find it from the header's request easily from the developer's tool just get from there and and beautify it will better to analyze you data.

or you even can use the fiddler or else tools that tracks the request and responses with the server.

As answered by @roland JSON.stringify is exactly what you asked for.

Furthermore, if you are actually looking for how to analysis the data on-the-fly, you can try bookmarklet. A googling on bookmarklet will show the details.

Just use the global copy method from the console. For example:

var myObjectInTheConsole = {};

copy(myObjectInTheConsole);

Tested and works in the most recent versions of Chrome, Safari, and Firefox.

Talking about Chrome, you can copy whole object to clipboard using copy(yourObject) in console.
