## Description

Spring-analysis is a diagnostic utility designed to visualize the internal architecture and execution logic of Java applications built on the Spring Framework. It functions as a static analysis tool that parses source code to map structural relationships and component interactions without requiring the program to execute.

The tool distinguishes itself by automatically extracting configuration and annotation data to identify beans and service definitions, which it then translates into visual representations of the system. By reconstructing method call hierarchies and event propagation paths, it provides a clear view of how modules connect and function within large-scale enterprise codebases.

This utility supports broader development tasks by identifying structural patterns and potential design flaws that contribute to technical debt. It serves as a documentation aid, generating diagrams that assist in onboarding new team members and maintaining clarity regarding the system's design and logic flow.
