This concept of testing seems strange and very limiting when it comes to the assertions you wish to make. If you post "Hello World!" I would want to test that in my post feed there is a post from myself ( Assertion 1 ) and the contents is "Hello World!" ( Assertion 2 ). I don't see how this form of snapshot testing would accomplish this. Am I missing something?

I've been using a library called prettyprint.js for quite some time that basically does the same thing but a bit prettier and from what I remember is basically a port of sorts of Coldfusion's cfdump: https://github.com/padolsey/prettyPrint.js

I've used this library recently to help the QA's better understand a JSON API's output.
