Definition

PlantUML is an Open Source modeling language and tool allowing users to create diagrams from a plain text language. The syntax of PlantUML uses some common constructs, especially in the UML subset, but follows mostly domain specific conventions for each diagram type.

Supported Diagrams

UML diagrams which are broadly classified into structural and behavioral
- Structural UML diagrams:
- Behavioral UML diagrams:
Non-UML diagrams:
- Data Representation
  - JSON Object
  - YAML File
- Knowledge Representation
  - Entity Relationship Diagram
  - Mind Map
- Project Management
  - Gantt Chart
  - Work Breakdown Structure
  - PERT Chart (Not Yet Implemented)
- Other
  - Wireframe
  - C4 Model (via additional macros included in standard library)

Issues and Challenges

Support for various diagrams is experimental or work-in-progress
