This is a simple box plot generator.  You provide a [JSON5](https://json5.org/) file with data and it generates an SVG file.  You can convert the SVG to PNG or other bitmap formats with the [resvg](https://crates.io/crates/resvg) tool.

Here is an example of the output:

Features of the tool include:

- Shows box, whiskers and outliers

You can understand the box plot composition with the aid of the following graphic:
