D2 Tour (alpha)

D2 is a domain-specific language (DSL) that stands for Declarative
Diagramming. Declarative, as in, you write in text what you want
diagrammed, we generate it.

For example, you provide this input on the left, and you get back the
output on the right.

declarative diagramming example

You can finish this tour in about 5-10 minutes, and at the end,
there's a cheat sheet you can download and refer to. If you want just
the bare essentials, "Getting Started" takes ~2 mins.

info

It's currently in alpha, during which it's only housed on
Terrastruct, which provides the most well-supported interface (IDE)
for it. Once we have a stable v1, we'll release and continue
development of it in open source and make local options available.

See future plans for more.

caution

The D2 language is experimental. Stability and backwards
compatibility is not guranteed.
