A VS Code extension that provides a visual watch window for inspecting data structures during debugging. It evaluates debug expressions and renders watched values as rich visualizations like graphs and tables.

Use cases

• visualize linked lists and trees while debugging
• watch data structures with rich visualizations in VS Code
• inspect complex data structures during a debug session
• visualize JSON expressions while debugging JavaScript or Python
• understand algorithm behavior by watching data change step by step

When to choose

• you debug data-structure-heavy code in VS Code and want more than the plain watch view
• you work in JavaScript/TypeScript with full data extractor support
• you want to see graphs, trees, or lists rendered live while stepping through code

When to avoid

• you don't use VS Code or its debug adapters
• your language only has basic support and you can't serialize structures to JSON
• you need a standalone debugger rather than an editor extension
