A component diagram (Engl. Component diagram ) is one of the 14 chart types in the Unified Modeling Language (UML), a modeling language for software and other systems.
The component diagram is a structure diagram . It shows a certain view of the structure of the modeled system. The representation typically includes components with their interfaces or ports . It also shows how components are connected to one another using dependency relationships and connectors . To represent the interior of a component, a component diagram often shows notation elements that are otherwise mainly shown in class or composition structure diagrams, for example classes or parts .
The component diagram is mainly used in software development for the modeling of component-based software systems.
