What is mermaid?

Mermaid is a versatile tool that allows users to create visually appealing diagrams and flowcharts directly from text-based inputs, eliminating the need for complex diagramming software. By leveraging a markdown-like syntax, Mermaid enables users to quickly generate a wide range of visualizations, including flowcharts, Gantt charts, and sequence diagrams, without the burden of navigating heavy, feature-rich applications. This text-to-diagram approach streamlines the documentation process, making it easier to communicate complex information and processes effectively. Mermaid's JavaScript-driven engine ensures that the generated visualizations are dynamic, interactive, and easily shareable, catering to the needs of developers, project managers, and anyone seeking to enhance their documentation and communication efforts
