1. A non-transitory computer readable medium encoded with computer executable instructions for analyzing components of a software application in a software development system, the set of computer executable instructions executable by a processor to cause the processor to perform a method comprising:
obtaining metadata information for each of a plurality of components from the software development environment by using a communication library to communicate with the software development environment to execute a retrieve metadata API call for each of the plurality of components to generate a metadata file for each of the plurality of components; converting the metadata information for each component into a parseable object using one of a plurality of object classes each associated with a corresponding component type; parsing each of the objects to extract attribute information for the corresponding component, wherein each parseable object is a self-parsing object capable of determining its own attribute information; and generating an entry for each component, said entry including extracted attribute information from the obtained metadata information for said component and viewable by a developer of the software application.
