'''Facedump''' is was a [[w:Cocoa (API)|Cocoa]] application for developers using the [http://developers.facebook.com/documentation.php Facebook API] to inspect the data returned by it. It is was effectively a desktop clone of the [http://developers.facebook.com/test_console.php API Test Console], though it was developed prior to the console's release for my own personal use. One difference from the web-based console is was that Facedump returns returned the actual data your app gets, and the user IDs it provides provided are exactly those that your application receives. This has since become irrelevant as the API returns the same IDs as are used throughout the site.
In addition, it is able to parse XML file lists of users as input for the [http://developers.facebook.com/documentation.php?method=users.getInfo users.getInfo] API call.
More details As platform and my experience with it developed, the need for this application has diminished. The test console is now much more powerful than Facedump could ever hope to come soonbe, and even I personally have not used the application in months.
