mermaid-js/mermaid
Description and use
Mermaid is an open‑source JavaScript library that transforms plain‑text definitions into a wide variety of diagrams—such as flowcharts, sequence diagrams, Gantt charts, and entity‑relationship graphs—directly within markdown or web pages. By parsing a simple, human‑readable syntax, it enables developers, writers, and data analysts to create and update visualizations programmatically without needing graphic design tools. The project is actively maintained, integrates with many documentation platforms, and is widely used for documentation, presentations, and collaborative diagramming.
Use in a workflow
