Node.js Question
Difference between "process.stdout.write" and "console.log" in node.js?
What is the difference between "process.stdout.write" and "console.log" in node.js?
EDIT: Using console.log for a variable showed a lot of unreadable characters while using process.stdout.write showed an object.
Why is that?
Answer Source
console.log() calls process.stdout.write with formatted output. See format() in console.js for the implementation.
Currently (v0.10.ish):
Console.prototype.log = function() {
this._stdout.write(util.format.apply(this, arguments) + '\n');
};
