make_tree.js and make_tree_interactive.py are tools to visualize the json output from commonAST and static analysis as trees.

make_tree.js

node make_tree.js ./filename

This will output the tree in a .svg format. Make sure to include the ./ before filename in order for node.js to read the file.

make_tree_interactive.py

python make_tree_interactive.py filename

This will output the tree in a .html format. Unlike make_tree.js, the trees produced by this tool are collapsible.

Example Calls

node make_tree.js ./ex1a.json

Outputs an uninteractive .svg tree from the data of ex1a.json

python make_tree_interactive ex1a.json

Outputs an interactive .html tree from the data of ex1a.json
