Hi,

I have several DSL queries, I try to optimize/profile the scores... for now I use the "explain" option.

The problem is that the JSON is so long that it is unreadable and very difficult to understand.

Ideally, a kind of "mindmap" with expand/collapse will really help.

But I haven't find anything ... I'm surprise that such tool does not exists 😛
