Mermaid
Also known as: Mermaid.js / Mermaid diagram
JS library generating flowcharts, sequence, and ER diagrams from plain text. Embeds in Markdown as SVG; natively supported in GitHub.
Overview
Because Mermaid diagrams are plain text, they integrate naturally with version control, letting you manage design docs alongside code in the same repository. Native GitHub Markdown support makes sharing diagrams in PR reviews effortless.
Integration with AI coding tools
Automatically generating sequence and architecture diagrams from code via AI tools is an emerging use case. See the Claude Code complete guide 2026 for AI-assisted documentation workflows.
