 PlantUML was created to allow the drawing of UML diagrams, using a simple and human readable text description.
 Because it does not prevent you from drawing inconsistent diagrams, it is a drawing tool and not a modeling tool.

 The [C4 model](https://c4model.com/) for software architecture is an "abstraction-first" approach to diagramming, based upon abstractions that reflect how software architects and developers think about and build software.
 The small set of abstractions and diagram types makes the C4 model easy to learn and use.
