• Structurizr Mini: A static site for C4 diagrams from a Structurizr workspace.
• Structurizr Site Generatr: Generates a HTML microsite with diagrams, documentation, and a UI to explore the model.
• Kroki: Kroki generates diagrams from a number of text-based formats, including the Structurizr DSL.
• Asciidoctor: The Structurizr extension allows individual views from a Structurizr DSL workspace to be included in Asciidoc documents.
