Visualization Types

Choose from multiple visualization formats to best understand your YAML structure.

Tree Diagram

Top-down tree of the whole YAML. Wide subtrees collapse into a leaf with a count. Good first look at the document's shape.

Flow Diagram

Flowchart with decision and process shapes. Switches to left-to-right when the structure fans out. Good for CI pipelines and stage-based workflows.

Dependency Graph

Relationships between entities. Detects Docker Compose (depends_on), Kubernetes (volumes, serviceAccount), CloudFormation (DependsOn, Ref), Helm chart deps, OpenAPI $refs, and CI workflows (needs, runAfter).

Sequence Diagram

Execution as a sequence diagram with participants and messages. Detects GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Azure Pipelines, Argo, Tekton, Bitbucket and OpenAPI paths.

State Diagram

State machine view. Detects AWS Step Functions, XState / Stately, Kubernetes Pod/Job/Deployment status and generic state definitions.

Class Diagram

Schemas as classes with typed fields, inheritance and relations. Detects OpenAPI 2/3, JSON Schema ($defs / definitions), Kubernetes CRDs and K8s resources.

Block Diagram

Interactive block explorer with expand/collapse per node, deep search (keys, paths and values), filters by type and level, and 4 layout modes. Best for navigating large YAMLs.

Interactive Diagram

Force-directed graph. Nodes repel each other and self-organise; drag any node to pin it. Drag the background to pan. Good for free-form exploration.

Kubernetes Deployment

A typical Nginx Deployment with 3 replicas, resource limits and container ports — great for seeing how pods, deployments and containers relate.

Docker Compose stack

Web + API + Postgres with a shared volume. Highlights service dependencies, networks and volume wiring.

GitHub Actions workflow

Three-job CI pipeline with `needs` dependencies. Ideal for the sequence and flow diagrams to see job order.

OpenAPI 3 spec

Minimal Users API with schema references. Perfect for the class diagram to inspect types, required fields and `$ref` relationships.

Helm chart dependencies

A Helm Chart.yaml declaring Postgres and Redis subcharts — useful for dependency graphs.
