nomnoml is a JavaScript library and tool for rendering UML diagrams from a compact text syntax, producing SVG or canvas output. It ships as an npm library, a CLI, and a client-side web editor with live preview.

Use cases

  • draw UML class diagrams from text
  • render diagrams as SVG in Node.js
  • embed diagrams in a web page on canvas
  • generate flowcharts from a simple syntax
  • convert .noml files to SVG from the command line
  • sketch architecture diagrams with live preview

When to choose

  • you want text-based, version-controllable UML diagrams
  • you need a lightweight JS library with minimal dependencies for in-page diagram rendering
  • you prefer a syntax that visually mirrors the output diagram

When to avoid

  • you need full-featured UML modeling tools with round-trip engineering
  • you require diagram formats other than SVG/canvas
  • you need collaborative or server-side diagram editing
