Abstract
The present disclosure is related to a software program comprising a source code parser configured to read a source code and interpret each function in the source code. In addition, the program generates meta-data about each function. The code parser may weight each function based on the complexity of the calls to each function to generate weighted meta-data. A visualization program may interpret the weighted meta-data and display an interactive visualization to a user.
Claims10
A method of computer code visualization, the method comprising:
- parsing a source code file comprising computer code;
- identifying an operation in the source code file;
- assigning a node ID to the operation;
- considering whether the operation has a parent operation that calls the operation or a child operation that is called by the operation;
- generating a metadata file, the metadata file comprising:
- the node ID for the operation;
- a parent node ID, comprising the node ID for the parent operation;
- a child node ID, comprising the node ID for the child operation;
- or any combination thereof;
- and
- generating a visualization from the metadata file.
