Entity Relationship Diagrams

Entity relationship diagrams (sometimes called schema diagrams) are a core part of planning and documenting your products and systems. Getting the data model correct and making sure everyone is aware of it will set every team up for success. These are perfect for:

Database diagrams: SQL tables or NoSQL doc structure
Visualize the data model used by your APIs and services
Visualizing the common types or data used in your UI

Eraser's simple UI is easy to learn, and our keyboard shortcuts, icon library, advanced diagramming tools, and rich notepad make it an excellent tool for documenting your data types and schemas.

Model all your data

SQL schemas are the most common use case for entity relationship diagrams, and Eraser supports easy visualization, including metadata and direction cardinality. But our diagrams are use case agnostic, and also NoSQL schemas, API return types, UI data models, and more.
