FAQPage Schema
How do I create a C4 system context diagram using Structurizr DSL?

A C4 system context diagram in Structurizr DSL is created by defining a workspace, adding people and software systems as elements, and declaring an explicit systemContext view to render the model.

What is the correct way to define deployment views in Structurizr?

Deployment views in Structurizr are defined by modeling deployment nodes and their child infrastructure nodes, then explicitly adding a deploymentView to map your software system containers to those physical environments.

Can I validate my Structurizr DSL workspace against C4 model semantics?

Yes, you can validate Structurizr DSL workspaces against C4 model semantics by checking for explicit views, stable identifiers, and correct relationship mappings to ensure diagram integrity and structural consistency.

How do I read and explain an existing Structurizr DSL file?

Reading and explaining a Structurizr DSL file involves parsing the workspace definition, identifying the modeled elements and relationships, and summarizing what each system-context, container, or dynamic view represents.

Does Structurizr DSL support component and dynamic views for detailed architecture?

Yes, Structurizr DSL supports component and dynamic views, allowing you to drill down into container internals and model specific runtime interactions between elements for detailed architecture documentation.

Why are stable identifiers required when updating Structurizr DSL diagrams?

Stable identifiers are required when updating Structurizr DSL diagrams because they preserve existing structure and relationships during revisions, ensuring that view layouts and element mappings remain consistent across changes.
