# toString method

1. @override

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

    @override
    String toString() {
      return 'XmppRosterItem('
          'jid: $jid, '
          'name: $name, '
          'subscription: $subscription, '
          'ask: $ask, '
          'groups: $groups)';
    }
