};

// Auto dump pimple.json on PimpleDumper destructor (or PHP die)
$container->register(new PimpleDumper()); // register service

// Manually (in the end of script!)
$dumper = new PimpleDumper();
$dumper->dumpPimple($container); // Create new pimple.json 
$dumper->dumpPimple($container, true); // Append to current pimple.json
