Preview

• preview a CDS file in different output formats, like yaml, diagram, edmx, json, odata, sql...

Visualize dependencies

• for a given CDS file or folder, visualize the transitive dependency graph • detailed between single CDS files • simplified: only show the folders of the detailed graph • architectural: collected dependencies between folders (i.e. all files within)

Formatting Options simulator

• for a selected CDS file or a sample, change formatting options interactively and see the effect
