toggle the 'ER diagram' and show the full picture in graph
application level ER diagram can provide much more information for business entities and hide unnecesary middle tables.

fastapi-voyager itself is also improved a lot for better experiences.

Visualize your FastAPI endpoints, and explore them interactively.
- better search experience - better graph interaction - persistent page in query string

So this isn't really "visualize FastAPI endpoints", it's "visualize the inheritance cascade caused by using the pydantic-resolve approach to data fetching/transformation, which involves adding post-hooks to compositions of Pydantic objects". A vanilla FastAPI user like myself is going to have trouble understanding it without realizing how tied it is to that framework.
to better describe the relationship, it borrows the concept 'subset' from pydantic-resolve, which act like pick several fields from original class but you can still reference to it.
@subset(User) class PickedUser: ....

This seems to show much deeper into the backend... OpenAPI really only shows the API surface as kind of a black box for external usage... this seems to be to aid diagnostics and understanding of internal calls and relationships.
you are right, in fact the most valuable part in our backend is 'business mode/logic', with voyager we can have a new choice to better understand them.
Easily construct complex business data by defining ER diagrams, combining data, and applying various data adjustment methods
Minimal cognitive load
Extremely developer-friendly for those with GraphQL experience, helping improve the code quality and maintainability of API integrations
When combined with fastapi-voyager, it allows visualizing the constructed code graphically
