About Mermaid.js
Mermaid is a JavaScript-based diagramming and charting tool that renders Markdown-inspired text definitions to create and modify diagrams dynamically. It's particularly useful for:
- Creating flowcharts and process diagrams
- Documenting system architectures
- Visualizing sequence flows
- Building Gantt charts for project planning
- Drawing entity-relationship diagrams
Example Use Cases
ETL Process Flow
Visualize data pipeline flows from extraction through transformation to loading, including decision points and error handling paths.
System Architecture
Document microservices architectures, showing service interactions, message flows, and system boundaries.
API Sequence Diagrams
Illustrate API call sequences between clients and services, showing request/response flows and timing.
Data Models
Create entity-relationship diagrams to document database schemas and table relationships.
Integration Benefits
- Text-based diagram definitions that can be version-controlled
- No need for external diagramming tools
- Diagrams can be generated dynamically from data
- Consistent styling across all diagrams
- Easy to update and maintain
