SwiftPlantUML
MacGenerate PlantUML diagrams from Swift code
Overview
SwiftPlantUML is a developer tool that auto-generates PlantUML diagrams from Swift source code. It visualizes class hierarchies, protocols, extensions, and relationships, eliminating manual diagramming effort. Integrates with Xcode or runs via CLI, ensuring diagrams stay in sync with code changes as projects evolve. Customizable to filter elements, exclude details, or adjust output style, it aids documentation, team collaboration, or onboarding new members by providing clear code structure visuals. Open-source and free, it’s ideal for Swift developers to streamline workflow and maintain accurate, up-to-date diagrams.
