Quick start

Install CLI

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sruja-ai/sruja/main/scripts/install.sh | bash

Or build from source (requires Rust):

git clone https://github.com/sruja-ai/sruja.git && cd sruja
make build

Create a .sruja file

This is the minimal style (explicit kinds, no import). The full Getting started (full) uses import { * } from 'sruja.ai/stdlib' for less boilerplate — both work.

person = kind "Person"
system = kind "System"
container = kind "Container"

user = person "User" {}
app = system "My App" {
  web = container "Web Server" { technology "Node.js" }
}
user -> app.web "visits"

Validate and export

sruja lint example.sruja
sruja export json example.sruja
sruja export markdown example.sruja

VS Code

Install the Sruja extension for syntax, diagnostics, and optional diagram preview in the editor.
