Logging/storing structures and arrays easily

For loggin purposes I wanted to store off a simple structure so I could capture a couple of value at a point in time. Luckily with Java powering CFML this was relativiely easy as you have access to the string object

aStc = {name1 = "val 1",name2 = "val 2",name3 = "val 3"};writeDump(aStc.toString());

You can actually do this arrays and even json structures too:

aAry = ['val 1',' val 2','val 3'];writeDump(aAry.toString() );// Below is Railo only I think aJson = {name1:"val 1",name2:"val 2"};writeDump(aJson.toString() );

You can even use the strings to compare structures easily:

aStc2 = {name1 = "val 1",name2 = "val 2",name3 = "val 3"};  aStc3 = {name3 = "val 3",name1 = "val 1",name2 = "val 2"};writeDump( compare(aStc2.toString(),aStc3.toString()) ); // should return 0 for no differences
