Idea
Programmatically extract the ArcGIS Pro project structure hierarchy and render it in a visually pleasing and useful way.
ArcGIS Pro projects can have a surprisingly complex internal structure:
- A project contains multiple maps
- Each map contains multiple layers
- Layers may appear in multiple maps
- Maps can be used in multiple layouts
- Group layers add another nested hierarchy
- Layouts may reference multiple maps, tables, and elements
Because real-world Pro projects vary from simple to highly interconnected, a generated Mermaid diagram would help visualize:
- Map → Layer relationships
- Layout → Map relationships
- Group layer nesting
- Cross-referenced layers used in multiple places
- Overall project complexity at a glance
Using something like beautiful-mermaid to render this structure could make dependency tracing and project QA much easier.
