node-modules-inspector is a Node.js dependency visualizer and npm package inspector. It provides a web interface for exploring the structure and contents of the node_modules directory to analyze and audit project dependencies.
The tool functions as a static dependency graph generator, exporting a project's dependency view as a standalone single-page application. This allows the dependency tree to be hosted as static documentation for sharing and reference.
The system scans the filesystem to build a map of installed packages and their physical locations. It includes capabilities for exploring nested hierarchies to resolve version conflicts and identify redundant packages, with support for client-side data filtering and JSON-based configuration.
