Software Ideas Modeler 14.90 - JSON/YAML Diagram Definition Generation and UML Enhancements

New JSON and YAML Code Generation Templates

Software Ideas Modeler 14.90 now supports generating structured diagram definitions in JSON and YAML formats. These templates allow users to create a comprehensive representation of their models, including a list of elements, their fields, and the relationships between them. Additionally, the generated output includes documentation for elements and their tagged values, providing a detailed and organized structure.

Extended UML Operation Model

The UML Operation model has been significantly expanded with new properties, including:

Method
Concurrency
RaisedExceptions
Preconditions
Postconditions
IsRoot
IsLeaf

These enhancements provide a more detailed representation of operations in UML models, allowing for more precise system design.

Improved Diagram Export Settings

Users will no longer need to adjust export settings repeatedly when saving diagrams as images. The application now remembers settings in the Diagram Export to Image dialog, streamlining the workflow for diagram exportation.

C++ Reverse Engineering Enhancement

Support for the final modifier in C++ reverse engineering has been added. This ensures that class structures are more accurately reflected when reverse engineering C++ code. This version also fixes reverse engineering of UML classes that contain both a constructor and a destructor.

New Template Language Commands

To enhance the flexibility of the template language, several new commands have been introduced:

Diagram.Nodes
Diagram.Relationships
Element.Fields
Element.IsRelationship
Element.IsNode
Element.HasFields
Element.Properties
Field.FieldTypeName
String: ToCamel, ToPascal, ToHyphened, ToUnderscored, CapitalizeFirst

These additions allow for more dynamic and customizable code generation, improving automation and productivity.
