GoKawiilACAV (Aurora Clang AST Viewer) is an interactive Abstract Syntax Tree (AST) visualization tool for C, C++, and Objective-C, built with Clang and Qt. Given a JSON compilation database such as compile_commands.json, ACAV lets you open a real project, inspect the AST for a translation unit, and move directly between source code and AST nodes.

search both source text and AST nodes, and
reuse dependency and AST-cache artifacts across sessions.
