Overarch Usage Overview

The usage of Overarch is twofold. On the one hand, Overarch provides an open data format to describe the concepts, functional requirements, architecture, and design of software systems. On the other hand it is a tool to transform the description into diagrams, reports or other representations.

Overarch can be used as a CLI tool to convert specified models and diagrams into different formats, e.g. the rendering of diagrams in PlantUML or the conversion of the data to JSON. It can also be used to query the model by criteria and generate artifacts based on the result with templates.
