1 # Heap Stats
2
3 Heap stats is a HTML-based tool for visualizing V8-internal object statistics.
4 For example, the tool can be used to visualize how much heap memory is used for
5 maintaining internal state versus actually allocated by the user.
6
7 The tool consumes log files produced by d8 (or Chromium) by passing
8 `--trace-gc-object-stats` or a trace captured using Chrome's tracing
9 infrastructure. Chrome trace files can either be processed as gzip or raw text
10 files.
