history
Project history and usage
OTree is a Rust terminal UI for inspecting structured objects as an interactive tree. It targets JSON, YAML, TOML, and XML files, with a particular emphasis on deeply nested configuration data.
Project history
The upstream README says the author created otree to inspect very deep Kubernetes YAML files, because jnv only supported JSON. The project is built on Ratatui and the tui-tree-widget tree component, placing it in the modern Rust TUI tool family.
The roadmap in the repository ties features to early version milestones: root switching, tree overview, data block, footer, syntax highlighting, configuration, clipboard support, filtering, help popups, and debug logging.
Adoption history
The project distributes through GitHub releases, cargo-from-git builds, Arch AUR, Homebrew, and MacPorts. Homebrew and MacPorts package pages give macOS and Linux users a packaged path, while the GitHub repository records versioned releases and a modest open-source audience.
How it is used
Users run otree with a structured data file path, for example a JSON, YAML, TOML, or XML document, and browse the parsed object in a terminal tree. The README also documents a configuration file at ~/.config/otree.toml for keys, colors, and other TUI behavior.
The natural use case is operational inspection: Kubernetes manifests, application config, lock files, generated JSON, and other nested documents that are unpleasant to read as raw text.
Why package nerds care
otree matters as a packaged example of the small, focused Rust CLI wave: it wraps serde-style structured-data parsing and Ratatui interaction into a single binary that competes with ad hoc jq/yq/editor folding workflows.
Timeline
- v0.1 to v0.6 roadmap: The README maps major UI and action features across early releases, including root changes, syntax highlighting, filtering, and configuration.
- 3 March 2026: The GitHub repository lists v0.6.5 as a release.
Related projects
- otree is related to jnv for JSON exploration, Ratatui for terminal UI rendering, and tui-tree-widget for tree presentation.
