I'm looking for an alternatives to yUML, preferably open source. Sure yUML is great and I really like it, but I would like to be able to extend it.

I'm also interested in other services in the same direction (diagram generation), but I'm not looking for any (UML)desktop tools.

Answer 1

Some suggestions of textual modeling tools. For instance, take a look at PlantUML

Answer 2

Scruffy can draw some yUML diagrams.

Answer 3

Scruffy-Server is a newly made web server frontend for Scruffy which has a rendering and syntax almost identical to yUML.

At the moment it doesn't have the PDF/Json/SVG(or PS) export options, but those might be coming. On the other hand it is very fast and has a lean interface.

PS: I might a little be biased as I made it.

Answer 4

Perhaps take a look at jsUML2. It doesn't provide a textual syntax for specifying diagram - it provides a js-based api instead. However the api is very easy to use and it's open source so extensible. They have a demo app built using it here.

hth.

Answer 5

Some years ago I've developed an open source alternative based on Graphviz.

It's basic and only work for relationship diagrams, but it can be extended.

The output look is very similar to yUML.
