C4 library (C4-PlantUML) [C4]

The C4 library enables a simple way of describing and communicate software architectures with an intuitive language.

It is the PlantUML integrated version of C4-PlantUML and has the big advantage that it can be used without additional external includes. (E.g. container diagrams can be drawn with !include <C4/C4_Container> and no !include https://raw.githubusercontent.com/plantuml-stdlib/C4-PlantUML/master/C4_Container.puml is required.)

Example of usage:

@startuml
!include <C4/C4_Container>
LAYOUT_LEFT_RIGHT()

Person(admin, "Administrator")
System_Boundary(c1, "Sample System") {
    Container(web_app, "Web Application", "C#, ASP.NET Core 2.1 MVC", "Allows users to compare multiple Twitter timelines")
}
System(twitter, "Twitter")

Rel(admin, web_app, "Uses", "HTTPS")
Rel(web_app, twitter, "Gets tweets from", "HTTPS")
