devtools.panels.ExtensionSidebarPane.setObject()
Displays a JSON object in the extension's sidebar pane.
The object is displayed as an expandable tree, as in the JSON viewer in Firefox. You can optionally specify a rootTitle
string: this will be displayed as the title of the tree's root.
This is an asynchronous function that returns a Promise
.

let setting = browser.devtools.panels.setObject(
jsonObject, // string, array, or JSON object
rootTitle // string
)

Examples
Create a new pane, and populate it with a JSON object. You could run this code in a script loaded by your extension's devtools page.
js
function onCreated(sidebarPane) {
sidebarPane.setObject({
someBool: true,
someString: "hello there",
someObject: {
someNumber: 42,
someOtherString: "this is my pane's content"
}
});
}
browser.devtools.panels.elements.createSidebarPane("My pane").then(onCreated);
