PlantUML usage guidance

Best for

Quick start

Call the ChartQuery API from your jQuery stack and return rendered PlantUML output to the UI.

Recommended flow

  1. Store your PlantUML source in code or markdown.
  2. Send source to a server-side endpoint backed by ChartQuery.
  3. Render returned SVG/PNG in jQuery pages and docs.

Typical jQuery integration path: /server/diagram-renderer
