PlantUML Language specification Json Diagram

Display JSON Data

JSON format is widely used in software.

You can use PlantUML to visualize your data.

To activate this feature, the diagram must:
  • begin with @startjson keyword
  • end with @endjson keyword.

🎉 Copied! 

@startjson
{
   "fruit":"Apple",
   "size":"Large",
   "color": ["Red", "Green"]
}
@endjson

🛈 If you are looking for how to manipulate and manage JSON data on PlantUML: see rather Preprocessing JSON.
