What is Uml and what does it do?
Uml transforms PlantUML text notation into visual diagrams directly within markdown documents. It supports all major UML types—class, sequence, activity, state machine, component, use case, and deployment—plus 9500+ mxgraph stencil icons for cloud and infrastructure architecture.
How do I view UML diagrams in markdown?
Uml enables you to embed and render UML diagrams directly in markdown-based documentation. Write your diagram using PlantUML syntax within a code block, and Uml converts that markup into a visual diagram automatically, supporting class diagrams, sequence diagrams, activity diagrams, state machines, component diagrams, use case diagrams, and deployment diagrams.
Can Uml render UML markup syntax to visual diagrams?
Yes. Uml converts UML markup syntax—specifically PlantUML notation—into visual diagrams. You write the diagram definition in text form using PlantUML syntax, and Uml renders it as a displayable visual diagram within your markdown document.
What UML diagram types does Uml support?
Uml supports all major UML notation types: class diagrams, sequence diagrams, activity diagrams, state machine diagrams, component diagrams, use case diagrams, and deployment diagrams. Additionally, Uml includes access to 9500+ mxgraph stencil icons for cloud and infrastructure architecture visualization.
Is Uml a markdown plugin for UML support?
Uml functions as a markdown UML plugin that adds native UML diagram support to markdown-based documentation. It enables you to embed PlantUML syntax directly in markdown and have those diagrams render visually, making it ideal for technical documentation that requires architecture and model visualization.
Can I use Uml as a UML diagram viewer for files?
Uml serves as a UML diagram viewer and renderer for markdown documents containing UML markup. While designed primarily for embedding diagrams within markdown, Uml's rendering engine displays UML models and architecture diagrams from PlantUML syntax, making it effective for viewing and sharing UML content in documentation workflows.
