The frame below runs the same code as this page, in the reader's own browser. Nothing is sent to us, and nothing is sent to you.

AccentBackground

Pick a dark background and the text and panels follow it, so the frame stays readable on a dark page.

How it works

Mermaid source is parsed into a diagram-specific abstract syntax tree, then a renderer converts nodes, edges, and labels into SVG. The leading diagram declaration selects a grammar such as flowchart, sequence, or class diagram.

One textual language supports several grammars through an explicit declaration.

Worked example

Simple Flowchart

Edit a simple flowchart with default theme

Input

											graph TD
    A[Start] --> B[Process]
    B --> C[End]

Output

												SVG diagram with Start, Process, and End nodes connected top-to-bottom

When to use this

Versioned documentation, architecture reviews, and teaching examples edit Mermaid diagrams.

Edge cases

A missing diagram declaration leaves the grammar ambiguous.
Special characters in labels can be parsed as syntax.
Large graphs can exceed browser layout or SVG rendering budgets.
