Is there a good way to visualise rust-audit-info json? (Also additional dependencies may be present) #182
Description
It is difficult to resolve the dependencies IDs, is there anything that would substitute names for the digits? or at least augument the json with digits?
Is there anything that can generate graph (mermaid or graphviz) from the json?
Also what is the difference between no kind specified, and kind "build"? Are the kind "build" crates linked into the final binary?
I am trying to understand why "ring" crate got into this binary, and if it really is present in the binary and used, or not.
gzip -d ztunnel.json.txt
cat ztunnel.json | jq | grep name | less -N
Look at the numbers:
30 "name": "boring-rustls-provider",
233 "name": "ring",
240 "name": "rustls",
244 "name": "rustls-webpki",
329 "name": "ztunnel",
Mentally subtract one, as less -N is 1-indexed, and dependencies appear to be 0-indexed
29 "name": "boring-rustls-provider",
232 "name": "ring",
239 "name": "rustls",
243 "name": "rustls-webpki",
328 "name": "ztunnel",
Now try to trace edges
cat ztunnel.json | jq | grep -e name -e 29, -e 232 -e 239 -e 243 -e 328
Abriviated:
"name": "boring",
"name": "boring-additions",
"name": "boring-rustls-provider",
239,
243,
"name": "boring-sys",
"name": "boring-sys-additions",
"name": "hyper",
"name": "hyper-rustls",
239,
"name": "hyper-util",
"name": "rcgen",
232,
"name": "rustls",
243,
"name": "rustls-native-certs",
"name": "rustls-pemfile",
"name": "rustls-pki-types",
"name": "rustls-webpki",
232,
"name": "ryu",
"name": "tokio",
"name": "tokio-macros",
"name": "tokio-rustls",
239,
"name": "tokio-stream",
"name": "tokio-util",
"name": "x509-parser",
232,
"name": "ztunnel",
29,
239,
Does this mean that ztunnel depends on boring-rustls-provider (29) & rustls (239)?
And boring-rustls-provider (29) depends on both rustls (239) and rustls-webpki (243)?
And finally "rustls-webpki" depends on ring (232)?
Did I parse this right?
It would have helped a lot if rust-audit-info could translate this to humans by replacing integer references with names; and also allow to show graph without kind build; or just the kind build.
