Framework Explorer

Developing IPS5 applications often requires navigating dozens of files to understand how classes, extensions, listeners, templates, language bits, settings, CSS, and database tables are connected. Framework Explorer is a developer productivity tool that provides a unified view of an IPS5 application directly from the AdminCP, making it easier to explore, navigate, and maintain your codebase.
Instead of manually searching through your application's files, you can quickly inspect its architecture, browse framework components, review inheritance, discover available methods, explore templates and stylesheets, inspect language bits and settings, and examine the application's database structure and data—all from a single interface.
Framework Explorer is designed for developers who are already familiar with the IPS framework and want to work more efficiently. Its goal is to simplify navigation and inspection of existing applications, not to teach IPS development or replace the official developer documentation.
- Ideal for:
IPS application developers
Marketplace authors
