The main purpose of Mermaid is to help documentation catch up with development. +Mermaid simplifies complex diagrams. It is a Javascript based diagramming and charting tool that renders Markdown-inspired text definitions to create and modify diagrams dynamically. The main purpose of Mermaid is to help Documentation catch up with Development. > Doc-Rot is a Catch-22 that Mermaid helps to solve. Diagramming and documentation costs precious developer time and gets outdated quickly. But not having diagrams or docs ruins productivity and hurts organizational learning.
-Mermaid addresses this problem by cutting the time, effort and tooling that is required to create modifiable diagrams and charts, for smarter and more reusable content. -The text definitions for Mermaid diagrams allows for it to be updated easily, it can also be made part of production scripts (and other pieces of code). -So less time needs to be spent on documenting, as a separate and laborious task.
