Session - Node documentation
class Session
extends EventEmitter

Usage in Deno

import { Session } from "node:inspector";

The inspector.Session is used for dispatching messages to the V8 inspector back-end and receiving message responses and notifications.

Constructors

new
Session()

Create a new instance of the inspector.Session class. The inspector session needs to be connected through session.connect() before the messages can be dispatched to the inspector backend.

The latest version of the V8 inspector protocol is published on the Chrome DevTools Protocol Viewer.

Node.js inspector supports all the Chrome DevTools Protocol domains declared by V8. Chrome DevTools Protocol domain provides an interface for interacting with one of the runtime agents used to inspect the application state and listen to the run-time events.

Example usage

Apart from the debugger, various V8 Profilers are available through the DevTools protocol.
