Object explorer

This simple view allows to traverse outgoing and incoming object references. This is not useful for memory leak detection, but this is powerful tool to examine values of object's fields, as you do in a debugger. To find memory leaks, use paths to GC roots.

Outgoing references

Shows all objects of the set and allows you to browse their outgoing references. Outgoing references of an object are fields or array elements of that object that point to other objects.

Incoming references

Shows all objects of the set and allows you to browse their incoming references. Incoming references of an object are references to that object.

Do not use Incoming references to find out why an object is retained in memory. Use paths, which is specially designed for this purpose.

Class-specific object presentation

In Object explorer values are immediately shown for object instances of common classes, so the most useful information is inlined, saving time expanding and searching for the specific field. Profiler has special presentation for the following classes:
