PlantUML is an open-source component used to draw UML diagrams from their textual description.
### Overview
This documentation will _not_ describe the PlantUML language description.
Please refer to [PlantUML site](http://plantuml.sourceforge.net) for that.
Here, some information about how PlantUML is implemented will be provided to help the
integration of PlantUML with other programs.
Unfortunatly, here, we have to raise a **warning**:
While PlantUML language description remains stable over version and follow ascending
compatibility, the *implementation* of PlantUML changes very often over time.
So if you use classes described in this documentation, it's very likely that you will have
an issue someday, because thoses class may change without any notice. They could even be deleted.
It used to happen more often than you think over years, because we try to constantly improve the
general design of PlantUML, and this imply a continuous refactoring.
The only exception is the `net.sourceforge.plantuml` package, that we will keep
as stable as possible over time.
