ToDiagram 🤝 GitHub Education

GitHub Student Developer Pack already gives millions of students professional-grade tools for free. ToDiagram Pro is now part of that lineup, letting verified students turn messy JSON, YAML, CSV, or XML into interactive, editable diagrams at no cost for 12 months.
Why ToDiagram?
Raw data slows you down. ToDiagram converts JSON, YAML, CSV, and XML into live diagrams in real time so you can:
- Spot relationships instantly: Tree and graph views update as you type
- Edit in place: Rename keys, change values, or add nodes directly in the diagram
- Stay private: Parsing happens in your browser; cloud sync is optional
Note: AI-powered helpers are part of the standard Pro plan but are not included in the Student offer.
Why We Partnered With GitHub Education
- Lower the learning curve. Students can visualise data without memorising DSLs or diagram syntax.
- Support future builders. Interactive diagrams shorten the gap between idea and working project.
- Promote best practices. Clean, visual data helps new developers avoid common JSON and schema mistakes.
