From Text to Diagram: Creating Sequence Diagrams for Technical Writing through LLM/AI
LLM + Problem decomposition + Mermaid syntax + Draw.io
While coding my webserver project I was assigned to deal with the parsing of the URI (Unique Request Identifier). To understand the whole URI parsing process, I leveraged LLM to decompose how it works underneath with example. Here an output I got :
After going through the step by step process and verifying it. Now lets convert them into Mermaid Sequence Diagram… Yahoo !!_!!
Output:
As we got our mermaid syntax diagram code. Now, let’s delve into making it visual.
First, we go to draw.io and Insert -> Advanced -> Mermaid
Paste your Mermaid code that you got as output from your LLM and click on “Insert”.
Do give a recheck with the reference documentation of Mermaid and see if any adjustment is needed or not. There you go the final diagram. You can choose to add the Flow animation:
You can leverage LLM to produce and add more styles to it. Feel free to experiment and comment what you have made.
Feel free to reach out or buy me a coffee if this helped you somehow.
