## What is LikeC4? Why "like"?
LikeC4 is a modeling language for describing software architecture and tools to generate diagrams from the model.
LikeC4 is inspired by [C4 Model](https://c4model.com/) and [Structurizr DSL](https://github.com/structurizr/dsl), but provides some flexibility.
You customize or define your own notation, element types, and any number of nested levels in architecture model.\
Perfectly tailored to your needs.
## What does LikeC4 look like?
LikeC4 source:
Run [CLI](./packages/likec4/README.md) to preview:
```sh
npx likec4 start
```
