About

WireViz-Web is a wrapper around the excellent WireViz by Daniel Rojas for bringing it to the web.

Originally, it has been conceived within a WireViz fork by Jürgen Key. For compatibility with PlantUML, it includes a PlantUML Text Encoding format decoder by Dyno Fu and Rudi Yardley.

Thanks!

Details

WireViz

WireViz is a tool for easily documenting cables, wiring harnesses and connector pinouts. It takes plain text, YAML-formatted files as input and produces beautiful graphical output (SVG, PNG, ...) thanks to Graphviz. It handles automatic BOM (Bill of Materials) creation and has a lot of extra features.

WireViz-Web

WireViz-Web wraps WireViz with a REST API using Flask. It also provides specific rendering endpoints for PlantUML.

Install prerequisites:

{apt,brew,dnf,yum,zypper} install python3 graphviz
