Archinsight

Archinsight project tends to implement architecture-as-code definition of a standard c4 architecture model. This project offers a new Insight language designed in such way that an Architect can focus on architecture definition, not visualization. Compared to UML, the Insight language is more specific and is unable to describe an arbitrary entity, but shorter and probably easier to use.

Unlike other UML software, such as PlantUML, Archinsight would offer it's user:

• A specific Insight language to describe c4 model
• Model integrity check by compiler
• Model interactivity
• Architecture introspections from highest to lowest level in one place
