plantuml_encoding

![ga-svg] ![crates-svg] ![docs-svg] ![codecov-svg] ![deps-svg]

It encodes and decodes text plantuml diagrams to facilitate communication of them through URL.

Overview

Consider the next plain text plantuml diagram:

plantuml @startuml PUML -> RUST: HELLO @enduml

It can be encoded to 0IO0sVz0StHXSdHrRMmAK5LDJ20jFY1ILLDKEY18HKnCJo0AG6LkP7LjR000 and with the help of the plantuml server (https://www.plantuml.com/plantuml/uml/) it can be shared through URL.

Also, it can be decoded in the opposite direction.

Plantuml declares support for the following compression algorithms:

• deflate
• brotli
• hex

But in fact, plantuml supports only deflate and hex (brotli is turned off). So the crate supports only deflate and hex too.

Installation

In order to use this crate, you have to add it under [dependencies] to your Cargo.toml:
