callGraph
A multi-language static call graph generator that parses source code to visualize function dependencies across 20+ programming languages.
What is callGraph?
callGraph is a static analysis tool that generates visual call graphs from source code by parsing function definitions and calls. It helps developers quickly understand code structure and dependencies across multiple programming languages without requiring complex setup or compilation. The tool is particularly useful for analyzing legacy codebases where documentation is sparse or architecture is unclear.
Developers and software maintainers working with multi-language codebases, especially those dealing with legacy scripts who need to understand function dependencies quickly. It's also valuable for code reviewers and architects analyzing system design.
Developers choose callGraph because it offers lightweight, language-agnostic call graph generation without the overhead of full parsers or compilers. Its practical approach works on real-world scripts spanning tens of thousands of lines, providing immediate visual insights where traditional tools might struggle with complex syntax.
