Drawio

drawio is a web-based diagramming tool and cross-platform visual designer used for creating flowcharts, network maps, and technical schemas. It functions as a vector graphics editor and an XML-based diagramming engine that allows users to design and export scalable graphics.

The software supports a wide range of technical design tasks, including infrastructure mapping for server layouts and the creation of visual aids for technical documentation. It enables the import of diagram files from other tools to facilitate cross-tool migration.
