## Dependencies Tree

The `risk.assessr` package provides a set of functions to get dependencies and visualize dependency trees, allowing users to analyze package dependencies and identify potential conflicts.

The package also supports license extraction and customizable depth control for exploring dependency layers.

### Basic Usage

Fetch your primary dependencies from your package:

    download_and_parse_dependencies("stringr")
    #> $dependencies
    #>                package    type parent_package
    #> 1                  cli Imports        stringr
    #> 2      glue (>= 1.6.1) Imports        stringr
    #> 3 lifecycle (>= 1.0.3) Imports        stringr
    #> 4             magrittr Imports        stringr
    #> 5    rlang\n(>= 1.0.0) Imports        stringr
    #> 6   stringi (>= 1.5.3) Imports        stringr
    #> 7     vctrs (>= 0.4.0) Imports        stringr
    #>
    #> $license
    #> [1] NA

Create and visualize your dependency tree:

    dep_data <- fetch_all_dependencies("stringr")

### License Extraction

You can extract license information from package DESCRIPTION files by setting `get_license = TRUE`.

    dep_data_with_license <- fetch_all_dependencies("stringr", get_license = TRUE)

By default, the dependency tree explores up to 3 dependency levels deep. You can control this using the `max_level` parameter:

    # Shallow exploration (only 2 levels)
    dep_data_shallow <- fetch_all_dependencies("stringr", get_license = TRUE, max_level = 2)

### Check for Conflicting Dependency Versions

Detect version conflicts in your dependency tree:

    detect_version_conflicts(dep_data)
    #> NULL
