Overview
PubViz is a developer tool that visualizes package dependencies and version constraints within Dart projects. It generates interactive graphs showing how packages are connected, helping identify conflicts, outdated versions, and dependency trees. Ideal for debugging complex dependency issues, optimizing package versions, and understanding project structure. The tool integrates seamlessly with Flutter and Dart workflows via the command line. It supports all major platforms and provides clear insights into pubspec.yaml relationships.
