## What it is
Vite DevTools is an extensible framework for visualizing the internal state and build analysis of Vite and Rolldown projects. It provides a unified dock UI, type-safe RPC between server and client, and an open architecture allowing any Vite plugin to add custom inspectors and visualizations.

## Use cases
- visualize vite module graph and dependencies
- analyze rolldown build chunks and assets
- debug vite plugin behavior during development
- build custom devtools panels for my vite plugin
- inspect build metadata for a vite project
- add a devtools integration to my vite-based framework

## When to choose
- you develop with Vite or Rolldown and need build/module insights
- you author Vite plugins and want to expose devtools visualizations
- you build a framework on top of Vite and need a unified devtools UI

## When to avoid
- your project does not use Vite or Rolldown
- you need production monitoring or APM rather than development-time inspection
- you need a general-purpose browser DevTools replacement

## Facets
- artifact type: framework
- maturity: active
