Abstract
A system and method for visualizing objects within an object network. For example, a computer-implemented method according to one embodiment comprises: receiving object graph data from a remote computing system, the object graph data representing characteristics of objects and relationships between objects in object-oriented program code executed on the remote computer system; interpreting the object graph data to determine one or more characteristics of each of the objects; and generating a graphical user interface (“GUI”) comprised of a plurality of graphical nodes arranged in a graph structure, each of the nodes representing one of the objects and the graph structure representing the relationships between the objects, wherein the graphical nodes are rendered with graphical characteristics representing characteristics of the objects which they represent, the graphical characteristics including at least a color and a shape.
