This extension integrates Draw.io into VS Code.

• Edit .drawio or .dio files in the Draw.io editor, as xml or both.
• Edit .drawio.svg files with embedded Draw.io diagrams (might be slow for diagrams with > 400 nodes).
• To create a new diagram, simply create an empty *.drawio or *.drawio.svg file and open it!
• .drawio.svg are valid .svg files.
• Uses an offline version of Draw.io by default.
• An online Draw.io url can be configured.
• A Draw.io theme can be selected.

This feature is not released yet as it uses unstable VS Code APIs. This feature might be stable in the next release of VS Code .

You can directly edit and save .drawio.png files. These files are perfectly valid png-images that contain an embedded Draw.io diagram. Whenever you edit such a file, the png part of that file is kept up to date. This allows you to include Draw.io diagrams in readme files on github!

You can open the same *.drawio file with the Draw.io editor and as xml file. They are synchronized, so you can switch between them as you like it. This is super pratical if you want to use find/replace to rename text or other features of VS Code to speed up your diagram creation/edit process. Use the File: Reopen With... command to toggle between the text or the Draw.io editor. You can open multiple editors for the same file.
