## What it is
A visual Entity-Relationship Diagram editor for designing database schemas, available as a web app (PWA), VS Code and IntelliJ extensions, and an embeddable framework-free custom element. It imports SQL DDL, GraphQL SDL, DBML, and AML, exports DDL for many databases, and generates code for popular languages and ORMs.

## Use cases
- design a database schema visually with an ER diagram
- import an existing SQL DDL dump and turn it into a diagram
- convert a DBML file from dbdiagram.io into an ER diagram
- generate TypeScript or Java code from a database schema
- edit .erd.json schema files inside VS Code or IntelliJ
- embed an ER diagram editor in my own web app
- export a schema diagram as PNG or SQL DDL

## When to choose
- you want a free, offline-capable ER diagram tool that runs in the browser or your IDE
- you need to reverse-engineer a diagram from an existing SQL dump, DBML, GraphQL SDL, or AML file
- you want one schema document format shared across web, VS Code, IntelliJ, and embedded usage
- you need code generation for many languages and ORMs from a visual schema
- you want P2P encrypted real-time collaboration on schema design without a backend

## When to avoid
- you need full-fidelity round-tripping of advanced database objects like views, triggers, or stored procedures
- you require a heavyweight enterprise data modeling tool with versioned model management
- you need a general-purpose diagramming tool beyond ER diagrams (e.g., UML, flowcharts)
- your workflow depends on a specific tool's proprietary features that this editor skips on import
