+
+MermaidJS plugin for ZenUML integration - A powerful sequence diagram rendering engine.
+
+> A Sequence diagram is an interaction diagram that shows how processes operate with one another and in what order.
+
+Mermaid can render sequence diagrams with [ZenUML](https://zenuml.com). Note that ZenUML uses a different
+syntax than the original Sequence Diagram in mermaid.
+
+```mermaid
+zenuml
+    BookLibService.Borrow(id) {
+      User = Session.GetUser()
+      if(User.isActive) {
+        try {
+          BookRepository.Update(id, onLoan, User)
+          receipt = new Receipt(id, dueDate)
+        } catch (BookNotFoundException) {
+          ErrorService.onException(BookNotFoundException)
+        } finally {
+          Connection.close()
+        }
+      }
+      return receipt
+    }
+```
+
+## Installation
+
+### With bundlers
+
+```sh
+npm install @mermaid-js/mermaid-zenuml
+```
+
+```ts
+import mermaid from 'mermaid';
+import zenuml from '@mermaid-js/mermaid-zenuml';
+
+await mermaid.registerExternalDiagrams([zenuml]);
+```
+
+### With CDN
+
+```html
+<script type="module">
+  import mermaid from 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/mermaid@11/dist/mermaid.esm.min.mjs';
+  import zenuml from 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@mermaid-js/mermaid-zenuml@0.2.0/dist/mermaid-zenuml.core.mjs';
+  await mermaid.registerExternalDiagrams([zenuml]);
+</script>
+```
+
+> [!NOTE]  
+> ZenUML uses experimental lazy loading & async rendering features which could change in the future.
+
+## Basic Usage
+
+Once the plugin is registered, you can create ZenUML diagrams using the `zenuml` syntax:
+
+```mermaid
+zenuml
+    Controller.Get(id) {
+        Service.Get(id) {
+            item = Repository.Get(id)
+            if(item) {
+                return item
+            } else {
+                return null
+            }
+        }
+        return result
+    }
+```
+
+## ZenUML Syntax Reference
+
+### Participants
+
+The participants can be defined implicitly as in the first example on this page. The participants or actors are
+rendered in order of appearance in the diagram source text. Sometimes you might want to show the participants in a
+different order than how they appear in the first message. It is possible to specify the actor's order of
+appearance by doing the following:
+
+```mermaid
+zenuml
+    title Declare participant (optional)
+    Bob
+    Alice
+    Alice->Bob: Hi Bob
+    Bob->Alice: Hi Alice
+```
+
+### Annotators
+
+If you specifically want to use symbols instead of just rectangles with text you can do so by using the annotator syntax to declare participants as per below.
+
+```mermaid
+zenuml
+    title Annotators
+    @Actor Alice
+    @Database Bob
+    Alice->Bob: Hi Bob
+    Bob->Alice: Hi Alice
+```
+
+Available annotators include:
+
+- `@Actor` - Human figure
+- `@Database` - Database symbol
+- `@Boundary` - Boundary symbol
+- `@Control` - Control symbol
+- `@Entity` - Entity symbol
+- `@Queue` - Queue symbol
+
+### Aliases
+
+The participants can have a convenient identifier and a descriptive label.
+
+```mermaid
+zenuml
+    title Aliases
+    A as Alice
+    J as John
+    A->J: Hello John, how are you?
+    J->A: Great!
+```
+
+## Messages
+
+Messages can be one of:
+
+1. Sync message
+2. Async message
+3. Creation message
+4. Reply message
+
+### Sync message
+
+You can think of a sync (blocking) method in a programming language.
+
+```mermaid
+zenuml
+    title Sync message
+    A.SyncMessage
+    A.SyncMessage(with, parameters) {
+      B.nestedSyncMessage()
+    }
+```
+
+### Async message
+
+You can think of an async (non-blocking) method in a programming language. Fire an event and forget about it.
+
+```mermaid
+zenuml
+    title Async message
+    Alice->Bob: How are you?
+```
+
+### Creation message
+
+We use `new` keyword to create an object.
+
+```mermaid
+zenuml
+    new A1
+    new A2(with, parameters)
+```
+
+### Reply message
+
+There are three ways to express a reply message:
+
+```mermaid
+zenuml
+    // 1. assign a variable from a sync message.
+    a = A.SyncMessage()
+
+    // 1.1. optionally give the variable a type
+    SomeType a = A.SyncMessage()
+
+    // 2. use return keyword
+    A.SyncMessage() {
+    return result
+    }
+
+    // 3. use @return or @reply annotator on an async message
+    @return
+    A->B: result
+```
+
+The third way `@return` is rarely used, but it is useful when you want to return to one level up.
+
+```mermaid
+zenuml
+    title Reply message
+    Client->A.method() {
+      B.method() {
+        if(condition) {
+          return x1
+          // return early
+          @return
+          A->Client: x11
+        }
+      }
+      return x2
+    }
+```
+
+## Advanced Features
+
+### Nesting
+
+Sync messages and Creation messages are naturally nestable with `{}`.
+
+```mermaid
+zenuml
+    A.method() {
+      B.nested_sync_method()
+      B->C: nested async message
+    }
+```
+
+### Comments
+
+It is possible to add comments to a sequence diagram with `// comment` syntax.
+Comments will be rendered above the messages or fragments. Comments on other places
+are ignored. Markdown is supported.
+
+```mermaid
+zenuml
+    // a comment on a participant will not be rendered
+    BookService
+    // a comment on a message.
+    // **Markdown** is supported.
+    BookService.getBook()
+```
+
+### Loops
+
+It is possible to express loops in a ZenUML diagram. This is done by any of the
+following notations:
+
+1. while
+2. for
+3. forEach, foreach
+4. loop
+
+```zenuml
+while(condition) {
+    ...statements...
+}
+```
+
+Example:
+
+```mermaid
+zenuml
+    Alice->John: Hello John, how are you?
+    while(true) {
+      John->Alice: Great!
+    }
+```
+
+### Alt (Alternative paths)
+
+It is possible to express alternative paths in a sequence diagram. This is done by the notation
+
+```zenuml
+if(condition1) {
+    ...statements...
+} else if(condition2) {
+    ...statements...
+} else {
+    ...statements...
+}
+```
+
+Example:
+
+```mermaid
+zenuml
+    Alice->Bob: Hello Bob, how are you?
+    if(is_sick) {
+      Bob->Alice: Not so good :(
+    } else {
+      Bob->Alice: Feeling fresh like a daisy
+    }
+```
+
+### Opt (Optional)
+
+It is possible to render an `opt` fragment. This is done by the notation
+
+```zenuml
+opt {
+  ...statements...
+}
+```
+
+Example:
+
+```mermaid
+zenuml
+    Alice->Bob: Hello Bob, how are you?
+    Bob->Alice: Not so good :(
+    opt {
+      Bob->Alice: Thanks for asking
+    }
+```
+
+### Parallel
+
+It is possible to show actions that are happening in parallel.
+
+This is done by the notation
+
+```zenuml
+par {
+  statement1
+  statement2
+  statement3
+}
+```
+
+Example:
+
+```mermaid
+zenuml
+    par {
+        Alice->Bob: Hello guys!
+        Alice->John: Hello guys!
+    }
+```
+
+### Try/Catch/Finally (Break)
+
+It is possible to indicate a stop of the sequence within the flow (usually used to model exceptions).
+
+This is done by the notation
+
+```
+try {
+  ...statements...
+} catch {
+  ...statements...
+} finally {
+  ...statements...
+}
+```
+
+Example:
+
+```mermaid
+zenuml
+    try {
+      Consumer->API: Book something
+      API->BookingService: Start booking process
+    } catch {
+      API->Consumer: show failure
+    } finally {
+      API->BookingService: rollback status
+    }
+```
