UML (Unified Modeling Language)

Unified Modeling Language (UML) is a standardized way to visualize and design systems, particularly in software development. Think of it as a blueprint for building a structure, helping developers and stakeholders understand how the system works and interacts. UML uses diagrams to represent different aspects, such as the structure (class diagrams), behavior (sequence diagrams), and architecture (component diagrams). By providing a common language, UML aids communication among team members, ensuring everyone shares a clear understanding of the project before coding begins. This ultimately leads to better planning, collaboration, and more efficient software development.
