# capa Explorer Web
capa Explorer Web is a browser-based user interface for exploring program capabilities identified by capa. It provides an intuitive and interactive way to analyze and visualize the results of capa analysis.
## Features
- **Import capa Results**: Easily upload or import capa JSON result files.
- **Interactive Tree View**: Explore and filter rule matches in a hierarchical structure.
- **Function Capabilities**: Group and filter capabilities by function for static analysis.
- **Process Capabilities**: Group capabilities by process for dynamic analysis.
## Getting Started
1. **Access the application**: Open capa Explorer Web in your web browser.
You can start using capa Explorer Web by accessing [https://mandiant.github.io/capa](https://mandiant.github.io/capa/explorer) or running it locally by downloading the offline release from the top right-hand corner and opening it in your web browser.
2. **Import capa results**:
- Click on "Upload from local" to select a capa analysis document file from your computer (with a version higher than 7.0.0).
- You can generate the analysis document by running `capa.exe -j results.json sample.exe_`
- Or, paste a URL to a capa JSON file and click the arrow button to load it.
- Like for the other import mechanisms, loading of both plain (`.json`) and GZIP compressed JSON (`.json.gz`) files is supported).
- Alternatively, use the "Preview Static" or "Preview Dynamic" for sample data.
3. **Explore the results**:
- Use the tree view to navigate through the identified capabilities.
- Toggle between different views using the checkboxes in the settings panel:
- "Show capabilities by function/process" for grouped analysis.
- "Show distinct library rule matches" to include or exclude library rules.
- "Show columns filters" to show per-column search filters.
4. **Interact with the results**:
- Expand/collapse nodes in the table to see more details by clicking rows or clicking arrow icons.
- Use the search and filter options to find specific features, functions or capabilities (rules).
- Right click on rule names (and `match` nodes) to view their source code or additional information.
