Supported Environments:

Branch is designed to support apps developed within either a Node.js or Deno/Oak runtime environment.

Whether you prefer the traditional approach of developing in Node.js or the more modern approach of Deno, Branch has you covered! Our data scraper is designed to work with you.

How does Branch work?

We stand on the shoulders of giants!

Branch works by utilizing the powerful capabilities of RipGrep to scrape through your app’s files looking for traditional route indicators. Our robust algorithm then uses regular expressions to consolidate your routes into a single nested object. This object is then passed through D3’s visualization tool and into our custom GUI for your coding enjoyment.
