What C2D Does
Text to diagram
C2D turns concise diagram code into routed SVG output. Instead of manually drawing boxes and connectors, you describe modules, relationships, ports, labels, and numbering directly in text.
Code to Diagram
C2D is a code to diagram tool for architecture, flow, and system diagrams
If you are looking for a code to diagram tool, C2D gives you a text-first workflow for writing modules and links, controlling ports and coordinates, and generating readable SVG diagrams in the browser. It is built for technical diagrams that need to stay editable and reviewable.
Why It Helps
Readable technical diagrams
A good code to diagram workflow should reduce manual drawing work while keeping the final result readable. C2D focuses on routing quality, port placement, fixed coordinates, and debugging tools for diagram behavior.
Use Cases
What you can build with a code to diagram tool
Architecture diagrams
Describe services, gateways, workers, queues, and databases in a text format that remains easy to revise.
System flow diagrams
Show message routes, processing steps, labels, numbering, and bidirectional relationships with a code-first workflow.
Team documentation
Keep diagrams in version control, review changes in diffs, and reproduce layouts through the browser playground.
Key Features
What makes C2D a practical code to diagram tool
- Text syntax for modules and links
- Automatic routing with orthogonal connectors
- Fixed coordinates when manual layout matters
- Forced ports for precise entry and exit control
- Labels and automatic numbering
- Playground-based debugging and regression examples
FAQ
Common questions about code to diagram tools
What is a code to diagram tool?
A code to diagram tool lets you define diagrams with text and generate a visual result from that source. C2D is designed for technical diagrams with modules, ports, labels, and routing logic.
Why use text instead of dragging shapes?
Text-based diagrams are easier to version, review, search, and regenerate. They also work better in engineering workflows where diffs and reproducibility matter.
Who is C2D for?
C2D is for engineers, architects, technical writers, and product teams who want a browser-based code to diagram workflow.
