PlantUML is an open-source tool that facilitates the creation of UML diagrams, which stands for Unified Modeling Language. This standardized modeling language is widely used in software engineering to visualize, construct, and document the artifacts of software systems.

With PlantUML, users can create UML diagrams using a simple and intuitive syntax that can be written in a plain text editor. Once the text is processed, the tool automatically generates the diagrams, which can be exported in various formats, such as PNG, SVG, PDF, and more.
