MSBuild Structured Log Viewer

MSBuild Structured Log Viewer is an open-source developer tool for examining MSBuild builds. It records a structured representation of executed targets and tasks, along with the property and item values used during the build. It is intended for developers who need to understand or investigate build activity.

The tool uses the Binary Log Format, with .binlog files serving as a portable structured log interchange format. Its interactive viewer presents MSBuild execution in detail, helping users debug builds and follow the relationships between targets, tasks, properties, and items. This makes complex build behavior easier to inspect without relying only on console output.

The Linux version is available through MirrorNest as a direct mirror of the official build. MirrorNest stores the mirrored build on its own storage and scans it for malware before publishing. The viewer also works on Windows and macOS, and its Linux snap usage can connect to the dot-nuget-packages interface so it can access the .nuget/packages directory when resolving NuGet dependencies during project builds.
