DBML
A simple, readable DSL for defining and documenting database structures, database-agnostic and human-readable.
What is DBML?
DBML (Database Markup Language) is a simple, readable domain-specific language designed to define and document database structures. It abstracts away database-specific syntax, allowing developers to focus on the essential aspects of database design in a portable, human-readable format. It integrates with free tools like dbdiagram.io for visual diagrams and dbdocs.io for documentation.
Database designers, backend developers, and development teams who need to define, visualize, and document database schemas in a database-agnostic way. It is particularly useful for teams collaborating on database design or those requiring clear, shareable schema documentation.
Developers choose DBML for its human-readable syntax that is both simple to write and understand, and for its database-agnostic nature that makes schema definitions portable across different systems. Its integration with free visualization and documentation tools, along with a wide ecosystem of community-built parsers and converters, provides a comprehensive solution for database design and documentation.
