Cargo Tree HTML Output

[HughKaznowskiCoralogix]

Problem

When trying to trace version incompatibilities and resolutions across various dependencies, I currently need to scroll a lot of cargo tree output.

I would find it useful, if the output would be in HTML, allowing to click-to-expand various dependency sub-trees.

Proposed Solution

cargo tree --output=html would spit out an HTML file, either to standard output or some other env/CLI variable with a default.

Cargo would then open the file in the browser displaying a dependency tree that can be interacted with (hidden/shown selectively. This behaviour would resemble the cargo-flamegraphs crate.

Notes

As long as this is approved, then I am happy to give this a go.

Regarding the underlying need, another option would be a TUI.

Tbf, I can actually resolve this fairly well with the inversion. But it needs to be 2 separate commands then, one per version incompatibility.

cargo tree -i dependency@1.0.0
cargo tree -i dependency@1.1.0
