gopkgview - Go dependency visualization

Status: Maintained

gopkgview is an interactive tool designed to visualize and analyze Go project dependencies. It provides a rich, web-based interface for better understanding of how your project connects its components and external libraries.

Implemented with ELK's layout algorithms to arrange the graphs and React Flow to make the visualization interactive and user-friendly.

Example of visualization of lazydocker:
