Schemd: A lightweight text-to-SVG compiler for circuits and UML diagrams

By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from DEV Community ·

Schemd is a zero-dependency npm package that compiles a simple text format into accessible SVG diagrams, supporting circuit components and UML types like class and sequence diagrams. The compiler runs server-side or during builds, producing deterministic inline SVG with a hard 20 KiB gzip budget. Current build is around 18 KiB with 100% code coverage enforced.

Meridian48 take
A niche but practical tool for developers who want diagrams that stay in sync with code, though its utility depends on adoption beyond the creator's own needs.
