Key Features

  • CodeCharta Visualization:

    • CC visualizes code bases as 3D cities, so that you can understand it - view the Web Demo.
    • It uses code metrics from .cc.json files.
    • The imported files are validated using JSON Schema as defined in generatedSchema.json.
    • You can change the way the file is displayed and save and later load it as a Custom View.

  • CodeCharta Analysis:

    • CC Analysis is used to calculate or to import metrics from third party tools for a code base.
    • It generates .cc.json files for CC Visualization through a Command-Line-Tool.
    • It includes some pre-defined importers for e.g. SonarQube, SourceMonitor, Git, generic CSV data
    • It also includes commands to validate and merge multiple .cc.json files.

Requirements

For using CodeCharta the following needs to be installed on your system:

  • Node >= 20
  • Java >= 11, <= 21

How To Use

How to use Visualization?

  • Online: You can try the web visualization without any installation and explore the CodeCharta code (shown by default).
  • Local: See here.

How to use Analysis?

  • Analysis is split into different parsers that generate .cc.json files. To run these parsers you need the CodeCharta Shell.

In this example we will generate a .cc.json from JUnit4 using the Source Code Parser (that parses java projects).

# Install codecharta-analysis globally
$ npm i -g codecharta-analysis
# Clone the junit4 repository
$ git clone https://github.com/junit-team/junit4
# Parse sources with CodeCharta Shell
$ ccsh sourcecodeparser junit4 -p junit4 -o junit4.source.cc.json
# Now you can upload `junit4.source.cc.json` to CodeCharta Visualization

Note If you want to be guided through selecting the arguments. Just execute ccsh and you can run the parsers interactively with dialogs.
