About:
go-size-analyzer is a CLI tool that visualizes and inspects the dependency structure and size distribution within compiled Go binaries. It parses DWARF and symbol table information to provide a detailed breakdown of your application's footprint. This helps developers identify large dependencies and optimize their build size.
Key Features:
  • Generates interactive, treemap-based visualizations of binary structure
  • Parses DWARF debug information for precise dependency analysis
  • Supports multiple output formats including text, JSON, and SVG
  • Identifies the size contribution of individual Go packages
Use Cases:
  • Debugging unexpectedly large Go binary sizes
  • Auditing third-party dependencies for bloat
  • Optimizing container image layers by reducing binary size
Alternatives:
  • go-binsize-viz – Similar visualization goals, but go-size-analyzer offers more detailed DWARF parsing and interactive output.
  • nm / size – Standard Unix tools provide raw symbol sizes but lack high-level dependency tree visualization.
