1. What Mermaid Is

Reference + IDE
Plain text in, animated diagrams out—versionable, searchable, themeable.

Mermaid is a “diagrams as code” tool. You write plain text, and Mermaid renders diagrams such as:

  • Flowcharts, sequence diagrams, class diagrams, and state machines
  • ER diagrams, journey diagrams, Gantt charts, pies, timelines, and mindmaps

This page is a full-featured Mermaid IDE: live editors, theme engine, exports, and advanced operations.
