## About
<!-- <Main description> -->
Mermaid is a Javascript based diagramming and charting tool that uses Markdown-inspired text definitions and a renderer to create and modify complex diagrams. 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Diagramming and documentation costs precious developer time and gets outdated quickly.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. <br/>
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. <br/>
Mermaid addresses this Catch-22 by cutting the time, effort and tooling that is required to create modifiable diagrams and charts, for smarter and more reusable content.
Mermaid, as a text-based diagramming tool allows for quick and easy updates, it can also be made part of production scripts (and other pieces of code), to make documentation much easier.
With Mermaid less time needs to be spent on making diagrams, as a separate documentation task. <br/>
Even non-programmers can create diagrams through the [Mermaid Live Editor](https://github.com/mermaidjs/mermaid-live-editor), visit [Mermaid Overview](overview/n00b-overview.md) for the video tutorials.
