Generate object graph visualization in a fully language-agnostic way in GenericEvaluator #84

Wow that is awesome! Thank you! Looks really cool, but I have to see how it fits into the larger picture. At first glance, this makes string based json visualizations impossible (?). The object graph is only one of many supported visualizations. |
A BFS generates a better graph if the graph is very deep since a DFS would get stuck in the first branch (if the limit is low).

Yes, this currently overrides the JSON visualization if the evaluation result has child variables. Thanks for the feedback, however! I have tested the object graph with Python, to see whether it works with other languages, and it does, though the graph gets a bit unwieldy with all of Python's internal class attributes:

It might be a good fallback for non-string values for languages without support for data extractors. The user should be able to understand why this graph is being shown though. Maybe the extension can visualize a flow graph that explains the flow of data on request ;) I will look at your pr soon in more detail! |
Fixes #83
As proposed in the issue, this PR generates a graph visualization of the program's state purely from Debug Adapter Protocol information, thereby making it possible (in theory) to visualize every language that can be debugged using VSCode.
Example using Kotlin:
