Supported features

• puml parser engine: pegjs

NOTE:

The parser only supports a small subset of PlantUML features. Have a look at the examples folder.

Problems?

• If puml2json causes error like:

  Error: line: 21 column: 3: SyntaxError: Expected "'", "--", "..", "__", "abstract ", 
  "class ", "hide empty members", "interface ", "namespace ", "note ", "skinparam", "title ",
  [ \t], [#], [+], [A-Za-z_], [\-], [\n], [\r\n], [^ ,\n\r\t(){}], or [}] but "{" found.

  it's most probably because PEG.js based grammar does not have support for plantuml format you have in input file.

  What should I do?

  Please raise ticket with example plantuml file that does not work

• generated json does not look like you expected
