Does this Mermaid editor render real Mermaid syntax?

Yes. The preview uses the Mermaid renderer in the browser, so standard Mermaid diagrams such as flowcharts, sequence diagrams, state diagrams, class diagrams, and Gantt charts can render directly.

Can I use Mermaid diagrams in Markdown files?

Yes. Many documentation tools, wikis, and repository viewers support Mermaid code fences in Markdown. Paste the diagram code into a mermaid fenced block.

Is my diagram uploaded anywhere?

No. The editor runs in your browser and does not send diagram text to a server.

What Mermaid Syntax Is

Mermaid is a text-based diagram language used in engineering docs, pull requests, architecture notes, runbooks, and wikis. Instead of drawing boxes manually, you write a short description of the diagram and let the documentation renderer turn it into a visual chart.

How To Use This Mermaid Editor

Paste or write Mermaid code in the editor, review the rendered preview, then copy the source into your Markdown file, docs system, or issue comment. Use the preview controls to zoom, fit the diagram to the viewport, expand the preview, or hide the source code while presenting.

Common Diagram Types

Flowcharts: Show steps, decisions, and system relationships.
Sequence diagrams: Explain API calls and service interactions over time.
Class diagrams: Document object models and important relationships.
State diagrams: Clarify lifecycle states and transitions.
Gantt charts: Outline project timelines and delivery dependencies.

Mermaid In Engineering Docs

Mermaid works especially well when diagrams need to live close to code. A text diagram can be reviewed in a diff, versioned with the document, and updated in the same pull request as the architecture or workflow it describes. That makes it useful for API flows, incident reviews, deployment plans, database migration notes, and onboarding material.
