rust-deps-visualizer

What it does: This tool draws a simple picture, made out of text characters like lines and branches, showing all the outside add-on packages, called dependencies, that a Rust programming language project relies on to work. It can show how deep the chain of add-ons goes, how big each one is in file size, and which optional extra features are turned on for each package. It can also group the add-ons by purpose, such as ones used only for running the program versus ones used only for testing. When to use it: Use it when someone wants to see, understand, or explain a Rust project's list of outside packages and how they connect to each other, such as when checking why a project got too large or reviewing what outside code it depends on.
