Obsidian CEO kepano has open-sourced Pele under the MIT license, a library that renders Mermaid diagrams and charts and outputs SVG. Pele is compatible with the latest Mermaid syntax, according to kepano's post.

According to the report by meng shao, Pele's bundle is 230 kB gzipped, compared with 1.6 MB for mermaid.js, and it has no direct runtime dependencies, compared with 23 for mermaid.js. The report gives render times of 0.05–0.3 ms for Pele versus 6–82 ms for mermaid.js; these figures come from the report's author and have not been independently verified.

kepano says Pele will become the renderer in the next version of Obsidian, and that users can start using it now.
