GoCity is an implementation of the Code City metaphor that visualizes Go source code as a 3D city, where folders are districts, files are buildings, and structs are buildings on top of files. Metrics like lines of code, number of variables, and number of methods map to building color, base size, and height respectively.

Use cases

• visualize go source code structure in 3d
• analyze code complexity of a go project
• explore a github repository as a code city
• identify large files and structs in a go codebase
• understand folder and file organization of a go project
• render code metrics as a 3d city map

When to choose

• you work with Go codebases and want an intuitive visual overview of structure and size metrics
• you want to quickly inspect a local or GitHub-hosted Go project without setup
• you need a research-backed code visualization tool for teaching or analysis

When to avoid

• your project is not written in Go
• you need precise static analysis or linting rather than visual overview
• you need headless or CI-based code metrics without a 3D UI
