I generated an interactive diagram to explore python-benedict's codebase

[ivanmilevtues]

Hey, all I've always wanted to contribute to open-source projects. But at the very begining I found it a bit too difficult to navigate them and wrap my head around on the main flow and the main "logical" components. That is why I started working on a project to help people like me, who are visual learners. The project generates an interactive diagram starting from the highest level of abstraction and allows you to dive deeper into interesting components.

Here is the diagram:

graph LR
    Benedict_Core["Benedict Core"]
    Data_Transformation_Manipulation["Data Transformation & Manipulation"]
    I_O_Management["I/O Management"]
    Key_Access_Navigation["Key Access & Navigation"]
    Type_Conversion_Parsing["Type Conversion & Parsing"]
    Data_Serialization_Deserialization["Data Serialization/Deserialization"]
    Dependency_Management["Dependency Management"]
    Benedict_Core -- "initiates data operations with" --> Data_Transformation_Manipulation
    Benedict_Core -- "triggers read/write operations through" --> I_O_Management
    Benedict_Core -- "utilizes" --> Key_Access_Navigation
    Benedict_Core -- "requests data retrieval from" --> Type_Conversion_Parsing
    I_O_Management -- "dispatches tasks to" --> Data_Serialization_Deserialization
    I_O_Management -- "checks dependencies with" --> Dependency_Management
    Data_Serialization_Deserialization -- "verifies dependencies via" --> Dependency_Management
    Type_Conversion_Parsing -- "consults" --> Dependency_Management

The generation tool is based on Static Analysis and LLMs and is fully open-source: https://github.com/CodeBoarding/CodeBoarding

You can see the full diagram with explanations and related source code here: https://github.com/CodeBoarding/GeneratedOnBoardings/blob/main/python-benedict/on_boarding.md

Any feedback is appreciated! Would love to hear your opinion on diagrams as an exploration tooling and diagram first documentation!
