Liam is a tool that automatically generates beautiful and interactive entity-relationship diagrams from your database schema.
The tool solves the problem of visualizing complex database structures by performing reverse engineering on existing schemas. It reads database schema information and transforms it into interactive visual diagrams with features like panning, zooming, and filtering. The approach requires minimal configuration—users provide their schema and the tool handles diagram generation automatically.
Liam suits developers and teams who need to document and understand database structures, whether in public or private repositories. It handles projects ranging from small databases to schemas with over one hundred tables. The tool is particularly valuable for teams working with complex schemas that benefit from visual documentation. The README does not compare Liam to alternative tools, so no comparative guidance can be offered.
The project shows active development with regular commits and ongoing feature work tracked in a public roadmap. The codebase demonstrates consistent maintenance patterns with updates across multiple components. Development activity indicates sustained effort toward improving performance and expanding functionality for handling increasingly complex database schemas.
