## What it is
oxdraw is a Rust-based diagram-as-code tool that renders Mermaid syntax files into images and provides a draggable web editor for fine-tuning diagrams. Visual edits are persisted back to the Mermaid source file as comments, keeping diagrams declarative, deterministic, and version-controllable.

## Use cases
- create architecture diagrams from mermaid code
- edit mermaid diagrams visually with drag and drop
- generate codemaps of a codebase
- render .mmd files to png or svg images
- keep diagrams versioned in git as code
- share diagrams via url
- generate gantt charts from mermaid syntax

## When to choose
- you want mermaid diagrams but need fine-grained control over layout and styling
- you want diagram edits saved back to a declarative source file
- you want to visualize codebases as codemaps
- you prefer version-controllable diagrams over tools like Lucidchart

## When to avoid
- you need real-time collaborative diagramming like Lucidchart or draw.io
- you only need simple mermaid rendering without visual editing
- you need diagram types beyond flowcharts and gantt charts
