C4-PlantUML combines the benefits of PlantUML and the C4 model for providing a simple way of describing and communicating software architectures – especially during up-front design sessions, with an intuitive language using open source and platform-independent tools. C4-PlantUML includes macros, stereotypes, and other goodies (like VSCode Snippets) for creating C4 diagrams with PlantUML. At the top of your C4 PlantUML .puml file, you need to include the C4_Context.puml, C4_Container.puml or C4_Component.puml file found in the root of this repo.
