# toString method

String toString()
override

A string representation of this object.

Some classes have a default textual representation, often paired with a static `parse` function (like int.parse). These classes will provide the textual representation as their string representation.

Other classes have no meaningful textual representation that a program will care about. Such classes will typically override `toString` to provide useful information when inspecting the object, mainly for debugging or logging.

## Implementation

    String toString() {
      var safeString = Error.safeToString(unsupportedObject);
      String prefix;
      if (cause != null) {
        prefix = "Converting object to an encodable object failed:";
      } else {
        prefix = "Converting object did not return an encodable object:";
      }
      return "$prefix $safeString";
    }
