Class Diagram Generator in Java

Create UML Class diagrams using Java Annotations

About

I wanted to build an utility app to create UML Class diagrams from java code. But didn't wanted to spend so much to draw it. So, I created this project using annotations @SuperClass and @ChildClass above the class declaration, project will create new mermaid markdown code for UML class diagrams.

Technologies

I used java , markdown and mermaid. I have used java Reflection API for scanning all the classes in the package. And some basic annotation processing.

• To view that markdown you can use VSCode Markdown preview extension or github gist or any markdown renderer. You should be able to see out output something like this.
