Neat. This reminds of a prerequisite charts for university courses[1,2].

You've just reminded me of the time I spent parsing through university course books -- what a nightmare; I have to assume these days they've improved on the process of 'look up course #, turn to the back of a separate book, dig through an array of numbers and hope for the best..'

Somehow through it all I ended up in three calculus courses simultaneously and decided university wasn't for me.

This is actually from July 2009. Not that it matters all that much as I'm sure it is still useful but I thought I should point it out.

Sure is! :) Just found out about it earlier today and it'll come in handy for a site redesign I'm doing, thought I'd spread the word.

Not just "sites;" I can see this being great for some API's topology.

Are site maps still a thing? I don't remember the last time I actually saw one. Still pretty nice though, lots of other users for this type of chart.

I'm about to use it for documentation and reference purposes.

It feels like a great tool for that

That's beautiful, also the fact that you think about restful url's beforehand is a big plus. It's also good to think about the language/terms that you want to use throughout your application.
