WorkerGlobalScope: dump() method

Non-standard: This feature is not standardized. We do not recommend using non-standard features in production, as they have limited browser support, and may change or be removed. However, they can be a suitable alternative in specific cases where no standard option exists.

Deprecated: This feature is no longer recommended. Though some browsers might still support it, it may have already been removed from the relevant web standards, may be in the process of being dropped, or may only be kept for compatibility purposes. Avoid using it, and update existing code if possible; see the compatibility table at the bottom of this page to guide your decision. Be aware that this feature may cease to work at any time.

Note: This feature is only available in Web Workers.

The WorkerGlobalScope.dump() method logs messages to the browser's standard output (stdout). If the browser was started from a terminal, output sent to dump() will appear in the terminal. This is the same as Window.dump(), but for workers.

Output from dump() is not sent to the browser's developer tools console. To log to the developer tools console, use console.log().
