history

Project history and usage

D2 is a modern diagram scripting language and CLI that turns text files into diagrams, especially for software architecture and documentation workflows.

Project history

The D2 repository was created in 2022 by Terrastruct. The README presents D2 as a language, command-line renderer, and Go library, with official documentation, a playground, themes, language tooling, plugins, and export formats.

Adoption history

D2 entered the diagram-as-code ecosystem as another text-to-diagram option alongside tools such as Graphviz and Mermaid. Its README emphasizes package-manager installation, editor/tooling support, and a list of open-source projects that document with D2.

How it is used

The usual workflow is to write a .d2 file and run the d2 CLI to produce SVG, PNG, or PDF output. D2 can also be used as a Go library and can swap layout engines such as ELK or TALA.

Why package nerds care

D2 is package-manager friendly because it ships as a single CLI for docs pipelines: install it with a system package manager, keep diagrams as source text, and regenerate images in builds or documentation sites.

Timeline

  • 2022: D2 repository created.
  • 2022: Early v0.1.x tags published.
  • 2025: v0.7.1 release published.

Related projects

  • D2 relates to diagram-as-code tools, Graphviz-style layout engines, ELK, TALA, Go documentation pipelines, and editor plugins.
