JSCity is a tool that visualizes JavaScript source code as navigable 3D cities using the Code City metaphor and the three.js library. Folders become districts, files become sub-districts, and functions become buildings whose height and base size reflect lines of code and number of variables.

Use cases

• visualize a javascript project's structure as a 3d city
• understand code complexity of a large js codebase at a glance
• identify large or deeply nested functions in javascript source
• teach software visualization using the code city metaphor
• explore anonymous vs named function distribution in a project

When to choose

• you want an intuitive 3D overview of a JavaScript codebase's size and structure
• you are doing research or education in software visualization
• you prefer a self-hosted tool with a Vagrant setup option

When to avoid

• you need visualization for languages other than JavaScript
• you want an actively maintained tool with recent updates
• you cannot install MySQL or Node.js locally
• you need lightweight static analysis without 3D rendering
