PgArachne Explorer

The Explorer is a powerful web GUI included in the tools/pgarachne-explorer directory. It is not just documentation; it is a fully functional demo application built using HTML/JS that communicates with the database exclusively via PgArachne. You can also use the hosted version at explorer.pgarachne.com.

What can it do?

• Inspect API: It reads the capabilities function to display all available endpoints and their parameters.
• Live Testing: You can execute functions directly from the browser.
• Auto-Documentation: It renders the SQL comments (including --- PARAMS --- metadata) into readable documentation.
• Modern UI: Features Dark/Light mode support and can be installed as a PWA on mobile devices.

URL Parameters:

You can pre-fill the connection settings using the ?url= parameter, for example: ?url=http://localhost:8080/db/my_database. This will automatically split the URL into API Host, Prefix, and Database fields.
