Sequence Diagrams

goseq generates sequence diagrams from a text files which defines the participants and sequence of actions you want to represent:

Client->Server: Make request
Server->Database: Make database\nrequest
Database->Server: The result
Server->Client: The response

Sequence diagrams can also include things like blocks, notes and participant icons:

participant User (icon="human"): The User
participant Client
participant Server
participant Database (icon="cylinder")

User->Client: Clicks button
Client->Server: Make request
Server->Server: Check cache
alt: [response in cache]
    note over Server: Server only caches results\nfor 2 weeks.
    Server->Client: The cached response
else:
    Server->Database: Make database\nrequest
    Database->Server: The result
    Server->Client: The response
end
