Documents the Contents of InterfaceBuilder Documents

While IB offers great tools for creating user interfaces, its capabilities are very limited when it comes to finding out the inner workings of an existing nib file or documenting the contents of such a file along with the rest of the source code for a project.

To uncover the contents of a nib file, just open the file with InterfaceViewer. What you get is a canvas with a diagram of all objects and all connections of the nib file on it. You get to see it all at once, with every object showing exactly as it appears on screen, respecting all its graphics attributes. Everything is neatly laid out on the canvas and clearly labeled according to your taste.

InterfaceViewer will also show a hierarchical view of all objects, reflecting the object tree within the nib file and ensuring that you absolutely can't miss anything that is inside the nib.

And it works with any nib file at all, even those that contain custom objects loaded from IB palettes---all you have to do is load the palette into InterfaceViewer too, and it just works!
