About
D2 is a declarative diagramming language (DSL) that lets users create diagrams from plain text with a simple syntax. It supports features like themes, sketch mode, animations, LaTeX, code snippets, and multiple layout engines. Diagrams can be generated via a local CLI, an online playground, or a language API.
Problem
Creating and maintaining diagrams is time-consuming and hard to version-control with visual tools.
For
Software developers and technical writers who need to create diagrams
How it works
Users write diagram definitions in D2's text-based DSL syntax, which is then rendered into SVG, PNG, or PDF outputs via a CLI or online playground.
