Module:Dump

-- Dump a table to help develop other modules.
-- It is also possible to use mw.dumpObject() but the result from this
-- module is clearer and is close to valid Lua source.
-- The main purpose is to allow easy inspection of Wikidata items.
-- Preview the following in a sandbox to see entity Q833639 as a Lua table:
--   {{#invoke:dump|wikidata|Q833639}}
-- Preview the following to dump a built-in table:
--   {{#invoke:dump|testcase}}
