## Description

The Ember Inspector is a developer extension designed to simplify the debugging of Ember.js applications. It integrates seamlessly with Firefox developer tools, enabling developers to visualize all application routes and understand Ember's conventions for controllers, templates, and routes.

Key features include the ability to overlay your app with real-time information about currently rendered templates, controllers, and models, as well as inspect objects with support for Ember bindings and computed properties. It also provides console integration via the $E variable and supports Ember Data debugging by displaying all loaded records. This open source tool is actively maintained by the Ember.js community and fosters easier development and troubleshooting.
