The Debug Node is a node designed for verification of the output signal of other nodes.
Debug Node shows chosen message characteristics in the debug sidebar and can also exhibit them in the runtime log if needed. The default setting is to show msg.payload, but any feature, the whole message or the JSONata outcome can be configured.
